Answer & Question

What skills are required to become a proficient academic writer?

Any under and post graduate student is capable of being a proficient academic writer. However, AFBAR offers coaching on academic writing aimed at equipping students with necessary skill sets that underpin this type of writing.

Academic research focuses on contributing towards an existing body, and is more conceptual and theoretical. On the other hand, business research is more practical in its outcomes because it solves problems and issues.

AFBAR offers customised tutoring, coaching and mentoring services on various aspects of a PhD research process.

There main differences between a thesis and a dissertation are: A thesis is shorter requirement for a Master’s degree that does not necessarily need to be defended by students. A dissertation is a much longer requirement for PhD doctoral degree that has needs to defended by students. American institutions clearly distinguish between a thesis and dissertation. In Europe the distinguishing lines between the two are rather blurred.
