Introduction

In the journey of our academic lives, we go through many stages that develop our personality and provides handful of knowledge and information. One of such activities is undertaking the process of dissertation and research. This professional academic research is conducted by the students in order to get a highly recognized degree in a selected field for example doctoral research in order to get a doctorate degree and etc. Dissertation is a professional research therefore, it is important for the students to first learn about how a dissertation is designed, what are the core elements that need to be included and what key points researchers might take into consideration in order to develop a quality dissertation. A dissertation is a professional academic work in which a real research proposal is designed. The first and the foremost thing for conducting a research is defining the problem statement.
