[Tex/LaTex] Creating a Title Page for Maths dissertation

coverstitles

I'm a third year maths undergrad, and am currently writing my dissertation using TexMaker. I'm not that familiar with the program, and am struggling to create an appropriate cover page (including title/name/uni etc and abstract)

Is there a particular way I can achieve this? Everything just keeps grouping together and looks rather unsightly for a dissertation to be handed in!

Modify this to suit your needs and layout:

\documentclass{report}   %% assuming that your dissertation contains chapters.
\usepackage{kantlipsum,graphicx}
\begin{document}
  \begin{titlepage}
    \centering
    \vspace*{0.6in}
    \bgroup
    \Huge\bfseries This is the title of my dissertation in \verb|\Huge| font \par
    \egroup
    \vspace{0.5in}
    \bgroup
    \Large My name\\[0.1in]
    \egroup
    My department \par
    \vspace{0.5in}
    \bgroup

    \Large My university 
    \egroup

    \vspace{0.5in}

    \par
    \vspace{0.1in}
    \hrule
    \vspace{0.1in}
    \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth}
     \kant[1]
    \end{minipage}
    \vspace{0.1in}
    \hrule
    \vspace{0.2in}
    \includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image-a}
    \vfill
    \today
  \end{titlepage}
\end{document}
