Dissertation, thesis, PhD?

In the UK and Europe, a dissertation is usually part of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and a thesis contains original research that is part of a doctorate. In the United States and other countries, the terminology is the reverse. Our PhD services are applicable whether your PhD is a thesis or a dissertation.
