Publications available to purchase from NCHP
The College is, frequently, asked for sight of past dissertations submitted as
part requirement of the Diploma award. Such requests may be prompted because a,
current, National College student wants some idea of what constitutes a good
dissertation in the eyes of the external marker. Alternatively, people may be
interested in the content of a dissertation for its own sake.
Whilst we were happy to accommodate such requests, there were problems. We had
to relay such a request to the relevant dissertation author, have him/her send a
copy dissertation to the enquirer, if agreed (or, more usually, have to copy the
dissertation here at our offices), establish a price to cover postage/packing
and copying. All of this took time, hence the service now offered.
Certain dissertations, awarded a credit or distinction by the external markers,
are now available from our Nelson offices. To keep costs down, they are
reproduced in their original format rather than newly word-processed in house
style, and are comb-bound. Prices will vary, due to the size of any given
dissertation, and the cost of postage and packing.
In the great majority of cases, they are reproduced as originally submitted.
Therefore, they represent, say, the views and research findings of the author as
at the date of submission; they do not take account of the comments of the
external marker at the time, or subsequent research.
It is hoped that the availability of this bank of dissertations will be useful
to the existing student body, and others, alike. We take this opportunity to
thank each and every individual author for his or her co-operation in making
this project possible.
The books and dissertations listed can be purchased by telephoning 01282 699378
with your credit/debit card details. Alternatively you can send an order form,
by post, to 12 Cross Street, Nelson, Lancashire BB9 7EN enclosing a cheque for
the required amount (including any postage and packing).
