 Abstract
(All candidates must edit this page )

The abstract should outline the main approach and findings of the thesis / software project and
normally must be between 300 and 800 words.
An abstract is a summary of your entire thesis and should provide a complete overview of the
thesis, including your key results and findings.
An abstract is different to your introduction, and shouldn’t be used to advertise your thesis — it
should provide enough information to allow readers to understand what they’ll learn by reading the
thesis.
Your abstract should answer the following questions:

1. What did you do?

2. How did you do it?

3. Why was it worth doing?

4. What were the key results?

5. What are the implications or significance of the results?

As your abstract will have a word limit, you may be unable to answer every question in detail.
If you find yourself running out of words, make sure you include your key findings before other
information.

Introduction

This chapter is critical as it is the first thing that the examiner will read and it is therefore important
to make a good first impression. A sample structure of writing a thesis introduction is given bellow.

1. Capture reader’s interest - Initially you need to capture the reader’s attention with a
discussion of a broader theme relating to your research. To add impact draw on research, data and
quotations from international or national professional bodies, governmental organisations or key
authors on the topic of study.

2. General aims – what you intend to contribute to the understanding of a topic

3. Specific objectives – You must then sell your idea for undertaking the research topic, demonstrat-
ing the main reasons why the research will make a significant contribution to the current body of
research. This can be achieved by demonstrating a gap or limitation with existing research,
then showing how your research will resolve this.

4. List your research questions - You need to include a list of research questions that is going to
be answered through the findings of this research. Generally, three or four overarching
research objectives should be pointed out as research questions.

5. Provide an overview of the forthcoming chapters - The final part of the introduction should
provide a glimpse of the structure of your thesis book and also an overview of the rest of the
chapters.

6. Your Introduction must not exceed two pages.

1.1 Your thesis topic

Introduce your topic.

Literature review

The literature review should provide a more detailed analysis of research in the field, and present more
specific aims or hypotheses for your research. What’s expected for a literature review varies depending
on your program – a Master’s thesis requires a more extensive literature review than a BSC thesis.

Introduce the broad layout of the chapter.

 Chapter 3

Methods

A possible structure for your methods section is to include an introduction that provides a
justification and explanation of the methodological approach you chose, followed by relevant sub-
sections. Some standard sub-sections of a methods chapter include:

1. Design

2. Participants

3. Materials

4. Procedures

How the methods section is structured can depend on your discipline, so consult your thesis
supervisor for ideas for structure.
Regardless of structure, the methods section should explain:

1. how you collected and analysed your data – you only need to include enough detail that
another expert in the field could repeat what you’ve done (you don’t have to detail field
standard techniques or tests)

2. why you chose to collect specific data

3. how this data will help you to answer your research questions

4. why you chose the approach you went with.

Introduce the broad layout of the chapter.

Results or findings

Use the results section to:

1. specify the data you collected and how it was were prepared for analysis

2. describe the data analysis (e.g. define the type of statistical test that was applied to the data)

3. describe the outcome of the analysis

4. present a summary and descriptive statistics in a table or graph.

Use tables and figures effectively

Reports usually include tables, graphs and other graphics to present data and supplement the
text. To learn how to design and use these elements effectively, see examples provided in Appendix B
(D, E, C, F).

Discussion

Use the discussion section to:

1. comment on your results and explain what they mean

2. compare, contrast and relate your results back to theory or the findings of other studies

3. identify and explain any unexpected results

4. identify any limitations to your research and any questions that your research was unable to
answer

5. discuss the significance or implications of your results.

6. If you find that your research ends up in a different direction to what you intended, it can help
to explicitly acknowledge this and explain why in this section.

Conclusion

Use the conclusion section to:

1. summarise the main findings of your research

2. emphasise that you’ve met your research aims. A good strategy is to repeat your research
questions and demonstrate how your findings answer them.

3. restate the limitations of your research and make suggestions for further research.

In some cases, the discussion and conclusion sections can be combined. Check with your supervisor if
you want to combine these sections. your conclusion chapter should not exceed two pages.

Conclude your thesis.

Example of Equations

The well known Pythagorean theorem x2 + y2 = z2 was proved to be invalid for other exponents.
Meaning the next equation has no integer solutions:

xn + yn = zn

The ampersand character & determines where the equations align. Let’s check a more complex
example:

x=y w=z a=b+c

1
2x = −y 3w = z a=b
2
−4 + 5x = 2 + y w + 2 = −1 + w ab = cb

The mass-energy equivalence is described by the famous equation

E = mc2

discovered in 1905 by Albert Einstein. In natural units (c = 1), the formula expresses the identity

E=m (C.1)
