What needs to go into a Dissertation proposal?

[FairLadyRantALot]

Well...E-mailed my Tutor about me having found my Dissertation topic and wanting to get sooner rather than later (yes, only first year...but will give me time to do all the reading, etc....)...but not heard anyhting back...and one of the things I need to know, obviously, is what needs to be included in the Dissertation proposal?
Anyone got any hinters?

Quantitative that is fab, thank you so much! You are at the uni where the only other diss in the same topic as mine has been done! (I know cos my tutor put me in touch with the student who wrote it, which was very nice of him!)

Really? small world!!

Set yourself a timetable and stick to it for your dissertation, it really does take over your life!!

good luck.
