BIF Dissertation Deadline Extension

Dear students,

I have received many complaints regarding the dissertation deadline and demands for a petition. The main arguments are:

There has been no real structure in place for dissertation development.
CASS encourages us to apply for graduate schemes, the majority of which have time consuming deadlines and assessment centres up to February.
The first term included three core subjects as well as electives and therefore increased the preparation necessities during the December break.


Moreover:
Other Universities have later deadlines. (LSE has no dissertation at all)
Other Universities have Dissertation guideline lectures throughout the year.
Management and Systems have their deadline in April.
The Business Studies students have been granted one-month extension and we feel that we should receive the same treatment.

By postponing the deadline the school would at least give us a choice and allow for better performance.

If you believe a later deadline would be useful, please sign the online petition A.S.A.P. by following the link below. It will only take a few seconds.



Kind Regards,
