Msc thesis foreword

In my experience, a MSc. thesis can be divided into four main types – all of which are related to the kind of ‘ contribution ‘ your thesis aims at: Theoretical – a theoretical thesis addresses a problem entirely theoretical, i.e. makes a contribution which is an abstraction of the problem.

A Master’s Thesis provides opportunities for students to plan, complete, interpret, and report research. Thesis projects must not have been published previously, and must be conducted and written under the supervision of a Graduate Faculty Major Advisor member and a Graduate Advisory Committee.

The UNK Library will retain two (2) bound copies of each thesis, one for the Archives Collection and one for the Circulating Book Collection. One copy will be given to the thesis advisor, one (1) to the department, and the student will receive a copy.

A thesis is the largest assignment a student will be ever likely to do and will resemble nothing they have done before. A final year thesis has to demonstrate academic structure, content, and integrity, something that is not always presented clearly by supervisors.
