Master’s Students: STOP Doing This If You Want Better Grades! 🎓

Are you doing a Master’s degree and struggling with assignments, essays, critical analysis or your dissertation? 🎓📚 This video is for you. I recently scored 86% in my Master’s dissertation while working alongside my studies, and in this video, I’m sharing the things that genuinely helped me improve my academic work including some of the mistakes I made and what I eventually learned to do differently. One of the biggest things I realised during my Master’s is that sometimes we search everywhere for the secret to getting better grades, when some of the most important information is already right in front of us in our module materials, assessment briefs, marking criteria, lectures and previous feedback. In this video, I talk about: ✨ How to approach Master’s-level assignments and essays ✨ Why you should always go back to your module materials ✨ How to actually use your assessment brief and marking rubric ✨ The difference between *describing and critically analysing* ✨ How to use academic sources to build an argument instead of just adding references ✨ Why lecturer feedback from previous assignments matters ✨ Dissertation mistakes to avoid ✨ How to make your research question, methodology, findings, discussion and conclusion connect ✨ What helped me achieve *86% in my dissertation* ✨ How I managed studying while also working This isn't a “follow these steps and you'll automatically get 86%” video. Every university, programme and grading system is different. Instead, I'm sharing what genuinely worked for me and the lessons I wish I had understood much earlier in my Master’s journey. Whether you're studying in the UK, Poland, Nigeria, Canada, the US or anywhere else in the world, I hope you can take something useful from my experience and apply it to your own programme. 💬 *LET'S TALK* If you're currently doing a Master’s, tell me in the comments: What are you struggling with the most? Is it essay writing? Critical analysis? Finding academic literature? Referencing? Your dissertation? Or simply trying to balance university, work and life? I'd genuinely love to hear about your experience. 📱 YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT ME If you have a question, want to share your experience, or simply want to connect, feel free to send me a message on Instagram.
