Extended essay option

15 Apr 2024

ADIT students have the option of writing a 15,000-20,000 word extended essay, as an alternative to one jurisdiction or thematic exam module.

Submitting an extended essay is a great option if your chosen area of international tax is not covered by any of the available ADIT module options; if you are completing a dissertation as part of an LLM or masters degree in international tax (you can submit a version of your dissertation in fulfilment of the ADIT extended essay option, provided it meets the ADIT extended essay requirements); or if you simply wish to gain the experience of researching and writing a scholarly paper that contributes to the academic discourse on an international tax topic.

ADIT extended essays are expected to be broadly equivalent in scope, detail and complexity to a master's degree dissertation at a European university (or a master's degree thesis at a North American university).

The IBFD library hosts some of the most successful ADIT extended essays as part of its Dissertations and Theses Collection.
