Dissertation help, from the proposal to the viva.
We teach you to write it. We never write it for you — which is what keeps it yours.1

What we do, and what we will not do
Most of what you have found while searching for dissertation help will offer to write the thing for you. We will not, and the line is worth setting out in full rather than leaving you to guess where it falls.
| Stage | You | We teach |
|---|---|---|
| Topic | You choose it | How to test whether it is a real gap, or one that only looks like one |
| Proposal | You draft it | What a supervisor is actually reading for, and why proposals get sent back |
| Literature | You read it | How to structure a review, and how to criticise rather than summarise |
| Methodology | You choose and justify it | Which design answers your question — and, more usefully, what it cannot answer |
| Analysis | You run it | SPSS, AMOS, SmartPLS, NVivo and Excel, and what the output actually means2 |
| Writing | Every word of it | Where the argument is weak, and why a reader would stop believing you there |
| References | You insert them | The style your institution requires, and how to make it hold together |
| The viva | You sit it | The questions you will be asked, and how to answer the ones you fear |
Everything in the left column has to be yours. That is not a disclaimer. It is the product.
Who it is for
Undergraduate final-year projects, postgraduate and Master’s dissertations, MBA dissertations, MPhil and PhD theses. The stage matters more than the level: somebody three weeks from submission needs something different from somebody who has not yet defended a topic.
We work with students studying in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates. The requirements differ by country and by institution, and where they differ it is your institution’s handbook that governs, not us.3
Sessions run online, at a time that works where you are rather than where we are. PHLOEM is a licensed institute, based in Abu Dhabi, with three addresses and a phone number that a person answers — which, in this particular corner of the internet, is worth stating plainly.

From topic to submission
Seven stages between a dissertation topic and a submitted thesis. You will not need all of them, and almost nobody arrives at the first one.
The topic, and whether the gap is real
Most rejected proposals fail here rather than later. A gap that exists because nobody has asked the question is worth writing; a gap that exists because the question cannot be answered with the data you can get is not, and telling the two apart early saves a term.
The proposal
What the aims, objectives and research questions have to do for each other, and why a supervisor sends a proposal back. You draft it; we read it the way it will be read.
The literature review
Structuring by theme rather than by author, and the difference between reporting what was found and arguing about it. This is the chapter that most often reads as a list.
The methodology
Choosing a design you can defend, sizing a sample honestly, and writing the limitations section before the data arrives rather than after.
The analysis
Running it yourself in the software your department expects, and reading the output properly — including the results that do not say what you hoped.
Writing, and being edited
Drafting chapter by chapter, then reading feedback on what you wrote. See section 5.
Submission, and the viva
Formatting to the handbook, the final reference check, and then preparing to defend it out loud. See section 7.
Methods and analysis
Quantitative and qualitative, taught on your own data. SPSS and AMOS for statistical analysis and structural models, SmartPLS for partial least squares, NVivo for coding qualitative material, and Excel where Excel is genuinely the right tool and somebody has told you it is not.
The teaching is about interpretation more than button-pressing. A regression table means nothing on its own; what a reader wants is what it implies about the question you asked, what it rules out, and what it leaves open. That is the part that gets marked, and it is the part software cannot do for you.
You run the analysis on your own machine, with your own data. We will sit with the output and work through what it says.2
Feedback on your own drafts
You send a chapter of your dissertation, written by you. It comes back marked the way an examiner would mark it: where the argument stops following, where a claim is carrying no evidence, where two paragraphs are making the same point, where the reader will lose the thread.
The marks are queries, not replacements. You will not get a rewritten paragraph back, because a rewritten paragraph teaches you nothing and is not yours. You will get the reason it is not working, and then you rewrite it — which is the only version of this that improves the next chapter as well as this one.1
Referencing, proofreading and formatting
APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, IEEE and OSCOLA — whichever your department requires, taught as a system rather than patched one citation at a time. Most referencing problems are not carelessness; they are a student applying two styles at once because nobody explained which one governs.
Proofreading and editing of your own written work: spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency, and formatting your thesis to your institution’s handbook — margins, headings, numbering, tables, figure captions, the contents page. Language corrected, argument left alone, because changing what you argued would make it ours.
And attribution taught properly, so that what is yours is visibly yours and what is not is credited. That is what keeps a piece of work defensible if anybody asks.4
The viva
The one part nobody can do for you, and the part most people prepare for last.
A viva is not a test of whether the thesis is perfect. It is a test of whether you know where it is weak and can say so without falling over. Examiners go looking for the seam — the methodological choice you cannot defend, the claim the data does not carry, the literature you skipped — and the students who do badly are usually the ones who had never said any of it out loud before.
So we run it as a rehearsal: the questions your particular thesis invites, asked properly, answered by you, twice if the first attempt wandered. Including the two questions everybody dreads — why this method and not the obvious alternative, and what would you do differently.
Publication
If the work is good enough to publish, the next problems are different ones: cutting an eighty-thousand-word thesis to a seven-thousand-word paper, choosing a journal whose scope actually fits, reading a call for papers properly, and answering reviewers without either capitulating or arguing.
We teach that process — how a paper is structured differently from a chapter, what an abstract has to achieve in two hundred words, how a conference submission differs from a journal one, and what a revise-and-resubmit letter is really asking. The submission is made by you, under your name, from your account.
Disciplines
Business, management, finance and accounting; engineering, information technology, computer science and artificial intelligence; healthcare and nursing; education and psychology; law; tourism and hospitality; and the social sciences more broadly.
The method travels further than the subject. A literature review is built the same way in nursing as in finance, a weak justification of sampling reads as weak to every examiner alive, and a viva in law asks the same underlying question as a viva in engineering. Where the subject genuinely does matter — a discipline-specific convention, a required statistical approach — say so at the start and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can help with.
Questions students ask
Will you write my dissertation for me?
No. Not a chapter, not a section, not a paragraph — and not for a higher fee either.
Beyond it being the wrong thing to do, in England it is a criminal offence to provide or advertise that service, and in Australia the equivalent law applies to a provider wherever in the world they are sitting.1 Any site offering to write it for you is either unaware of that or hoping you are. What you get here is taught, and the writing stays yours.
Is this allowed by my university?
Tutoring, supervision-style feedback, statistics teaching, language proofreading and viva rehearsal are ordinary academic support, and every institution we work with provides versions of all five itself.
What is never allowed anywhere is submitting work somebody else produced. Your own institution’s academic-integrity policy is the authority on the details, including how much language editing it permits — read it, and if anything here sits close to a line it draws, tell us and we will stay the right side of it.3
Which referencing styles do you work in?
APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, IEEE and OSCOLA. If your department uses a house variant — and a great many do — send the handbook and we will work to that rather than to the published standard, because the handbook is what you are marked against.
I am not in the UAE. Does that work?
Yes. Students in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand work with us online, and sessions are scheduled in your time zone rather than ours. The office is in Abu Dhabi and answers from 07:30 to 18:00 Gulf Standard Time, but the teaching itself is not tied to those hours.
Notes
- Contract cheating — submitting work a third party produced — is prohibited by every institution we work with. In England it is also criminal: the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, in force 28 April 2022, created offences of both providing and advertising such a service. Australia’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Amendment (Prohibiting Academic Cheating Services) Act 2020 does the same, and applies to a provider whether they are in Australia or elsewhere. PHLOEM does not provide such a service in any of the countries listed on this page. ↩ back
- Analysis is taught on your own data, on your own machine, in the software your department expects. We do not run analyses and return results, because an examiner is entitled to ask you how you arrived at them. ↩ back
- Where anything here differs from your institution’s regulations, your institution’s regulations govern. Academic-integrity policies vary in what they permit — particularly on the extent of language editing — and they are published; read yours. ↩ back
- Proofreading here means language, consistency and format. It does not extend to altering what you argued or the evidence you gave for it, because that would make the argument ours rather than yours. ↩ back
- You will not find student names, institutions, results or extracts of anyone’s work anywhere on this page. Nor will you find a count of theses completed or a claimed pass rate. Those numbers are unverifiable wherever you see them, and the work people bring here is their own business.
- No fee is published for this service. What it costs depends on the stage you are at and how much of it you want, so it is quoted after a conversation rather than guessed at beforehand.
