Description

This course is for students who start working on their thesis project. It aims to provide general and practical guidance on the thesis writing process.

Part I introduces useful tips and information about the practical aspects of writing a thesis. Examples include guidance on: academic/thesis writing in general, referencing systems, structuring the thesis, literature review and evaluation criteria. If necessary, sample theses will be used for analysis. In Part II, all students are invited to deliver presentations based on their written work in progress.
