1.1 Abstract

Guidelines for the students:

Guidelines: How to write an Abstract?

Abstracts are important as they set the stage for your research. It is like a short sales pitch.
Therefore, they need to be short, precise and hit the nail right at the top.
In one sentence, you need to explain the importance of your topic.
Then you should establish the research gap, which is followed by your research topic/question.
You should explain your methodology, data collection, your most important findings (maybe your
practical implications) and your theoretical contributions.
Abstracts are usually written after you finish writing your dissertation Abstracts are usually strictly
word counted! Short, but effective is the secret.
Follow the requirements for the abstract and remember to include everything that is asked.
