Dissertation timeline planner

Choose a deadline and the number of weeks available. This example schedule works backward from that date; it does not predict ethics or supervisor approval times.

Enter a valid submission date and 1–104 whole weeks to see your plan.

Make the plan realistic

The milestones start with scope and permissions, then reading and method, data or source analysis, a complete draft, and submission. Short timelines can put milestones on the same day. Allow a separate buffer for ethics, recruitment, holidays and supervisor availability.

Frequently asked questions

Can I collect data before ethics approval?

Where approval is required, obtain it before recruitment or data collection. Change this draft schedule if approval, access or supervisor feedback takes longer than expected.
