Built in the UK.
For UK Students.
By Academics.
Dissertation Master was founded by a group of PhD graduates and academic editors who saw, firsthand, how many capable students were failing not because of ability — but because of pressure, time, and a lack of the right guidance at the right moment. We built this service to change that.
Dissertation Master
UK Academic Writing Support
A decade of helping UK students reach their potential
Dissertation Master was founded in 2015 in London by a small team of PhD graduates, academic editors, and university lecturers who had watched too many bright, hardworking students stumble not because they lacked the intellect — but because they lacked the support.
The UK academic system places enormous pressure on students. Dissertations, essays, and assignments arrive alongside part-time work, mental health challenges, caring responsibilities, and the anxiety of being far from home. We built Dissertation Master to be the resource we wished had existed when we were students ourselves.
We started with a handful of trusted academic writers and a simple commitment: produce only the quality of work we would be proud to put our own names to. That commitment hasn't changed. Ten years on, it still drives every order we take.
"We're not here to do students' thinking for them. We're here to show them what excellent academic work looks like — at the exact standard they're being marked against."
— Founding team, Dissertation Master, 2015
Every decision we make — from how we vet writers, to how we price our services, to what we put in our guarantees — comes back to one question: is this genuinely in the student's best interest?
Our Journey
2015 — Founded
Launched in London
A team of PhD graduates and academic editors founded Dissertation Master to fill a gap in genuine, high-quality academic support for UK students.
2017 — Expanded
100+ subjects covered
Grew the writer network to cover all major subject areas and academic levels, from A-Level through to PhD, across every UK university framework.
2019 — Milestone
1,000 five-star reviews
Crossed 1,000 verified five-star reviews — the milestone that confirmed the model was working and students trusted what we were building.
2021 — Commitment
Money-back guarantee introduced
Formalised the money-back guarantee as a standard offering — not a marketing claim, but a contractual commitment backed by every order.
2024 — Growth
5,000+ students served
Surpassed 5,000 completed orders with a maintained 100% on-time delivery record and 4.9-star average across all review platforms.
2026 — Today
10,000+ students. Same values.
Ten years on, still UK-based, still human-only writers, still no AI, still the same commitment that started it all — genuine academic support, done properly.
Honest about what we do.
And what we don't.
We believe the only way to build real trust is to be specific and honest — including about the things other services won't say out loud.
What we do
What we don't do
We accept fewer than 5% of applicants
Every writer on our team has passed a rigorous four-stage vetting process. Here's exactly how it works.
Degree Verification
Applicants must hold a Masters or PhD in their stated subject area from a recognised institution. Degree certificates are verified before any assessment begins.
Subject Writing Test
A blind assessment set by our academic team — a real academic writing task at the appropriate level, marked against university marking criteria. No preparation allowed.
Plagiarism & AI Audit
Test submissions are run through Turnitin and AI detection tools. Any submission flagging above 5% similarity or any AI content is automatically rejected.
Ongoing Quality Review
All orders are quality-reviewed by our editorial team before delivery. Writers are monitored continuously — performance below our standard results in immediate suspension.
Postgraduate Qualified
Every active writer holds at least a Masters degree. Many hold PhDs. Undergraduate-level orders are handled by Masters graduates; PhD orders are matched to doctoral-qualified writers.
UK University Knowledge
Our writers are educated in, or extensively experienced within, the UK academic system. They understand UK marking rubrics, referencing conventions, and institutional expectations.
Academic Writing Experience
Minimum three years of verified academic writing experience required before application. Writers specialise in narrow subject areas — we never assign work outside a writer's verified expertise.
What we actually believe in
Not aspirations on a wall. Commitments we're held to by every student who orders from us.
Student First, Always
Every decision — pricing, revision policy, writer matching — is made by asking what's best for the student, not what's most profitable for us.
"We've turned down orders we didn't think we could do justice to. We'd rather lose the business than disappoint a student."
Radical Transparency
We publish what we do and what we don't do. Our pricing is fixed before payment. Our guarantees are written in plain English, not legal small print.
"If we can't explain something simply and honestly, that's a sign the policy needs to change."
Uncompromising Quality
We accept fewer than 5% of writer applicants. We review every piece before delivery. We revise until the student is satisfied. Quality is not a feature — it's the baseline.
"Good enough isn't good enough. We're writing at the standard students are being graded against."
Absolute Confidentiality
We have maintained a zero-disclosure record across every order we've taken. No advertising. No sharing. No exceptions. Your academic privacy is non-negotiable.
"A student trusting us with their academic career trusts us with something enormous. We treat it that way."
