A thesis/dissertation editing service you can trust
If you are looking for a cheap, basic and rushed thesis/dissertation proofreading service, we suggest you stop reading now and look elsewhere – though we advise you be vigilant of scam websites.
If, however, you are looking for a premium quality review and improvement of your writing at a fair price, we can help.
Having a second-set of eyes go over your dissertation or thesis can be of tremendous value. Often, supervisors are unable to provide the amount of time required to substantially correct language, style, and clarity issues. In such cases, our experienced academic editors can be of assistance – 24/7, year-round.
The goal of our thesis/dissertation editing services are simple: through a careful review, we aim to eliminate errors while also improving the language and academic tone of your dissertation/thesis. We also look to provide suggestions on how you can improve or develop the content/argument to achieve a better grade.
Improved style and appropriate tone
We will look to improve lexical (word) choice to ensure that your dissertation/thesis has a confident academic tone.

Your editor will fix issues of awkward phrasing and ambiguity to ensure perfect clarity in your writing.

Dr Smith, PhD This phrase can either be hyphenated or unhyphenated when used in this context (modifying another word or phrase that follows it), but the unhyphenated form is more common, so I will follow that style throughout this document.
General feedback and advice
The editor will provide feedback and advice on the content and construct of the writing, both within the document and in their Editor’s Summary Report.

Get the support of highly experienced academic editors
We will ensure that your dissertation or thesis is submitted in the best possible condition by having it reviewed by an academic editor with expertise in your discipline.
Each year, our editors review over 2,000 dissertations and theses in a range of subjects for students and PhDs from all over the world. The feedback we receive from our clients is overwhelmingly positive, and we work hard on each order we receive to keep it this way.
Don’t drop precious marks for weaknesses of English and academic style
Most university guidelines state that 10-20% of marks awarded for university assignments should be for command of written English.
Our editors will make sure that you do not drop precious marks due to weakness in the English writing. Furthermore, we will work on improving your academic tone, and the flow and structure of your writing so that it is well-received by the grading professor.
Are you an ESL student or academic?
Writing in a second language is difficult. However, writing in a second language to an academic standard is even more challenging. There are so many obscure stylistic conventions that it is hard even for many educated native speakers.
Fortunately, as current and former university staff members and academics, our editors know exactly what grading professors do, and do not, want to see in a dissertation or thesis.
Hire the experts to help
Nothing influences your final degree classification more than the mark you receive from your dissertation or thesis.
If you choose to hire Cambridge to review and improve your dissertation or thesis, you are not simply purchasing a basic online proofreading service; you are making an investment in your education and the result of your degree or doctorate. Our previous clients will attest to this.
Subject matter expertise
With over 200 editors spanning the full spectrum of academic disciplines, we can pair most documents with a professional that has experience in the subject area. We believe there is no substitute for subject-matter expertise.
Over 200 experienced dissertation/thesis editors
All the editors in our network hold advanced qualifications (first degrees, master’s degrees, and PhDs) from leading American and British universities.
Many also are members of leading industry bodies, such as the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS) and the Council of Science Editors (CSE).
