Illustrative Example · MSc Data Science, Dissertation Support
“A postgraduate Data Science student came to us six weeks before their dissertation proposal deadline, unsure how to frame a research question around a dataset they'd already chosen. Over four sessions, their advisor worked through structuring the literature review, tightening the research question, and mapping a realistic methodology — the kind of guidance that turns a vague idea into a defensible plan. By the final session, the student was drafting independently and using the advisor mainly to sense-check their own reasoning, which is exactly the shift we aim for: less reliance on us, not more.”
