Writing A Thesis 

Thesis Writing Sure Is An Exceptional Experience And There Is No One Way Of Structuring It. As 

A Research Scholar, It Is Left To You To Decide What Kind Of A Structure Suits Your Research 

Area And Topic, Upon Discussion With Your Supervisor And On Reading Up On Other Theses 

That Have Already Been Written On Your Area Of Interest. 

Most Dissertations Are Unique Even Though They Might Be Very Close In Introspection. But 

There Are Two Basic Structures Dissertations Follow. The Conventional Structure Is One In The 

Form Of A Book That Consists Of Chapters And The More Recent One Is Where The Thesis Is 

Structured Like A Series Of Journal Articles That Can Be Published Later If One Wishes But This 

Kind Needs The Concurrence Of The Supervisor. 

A More Conventional Way Of Structuring A Postgraduate Thesis Is To Write It In The Form Of A 

Book Consisting Of Chapters. Although The Number Of Chapters Used Is Relative To The Specific 

Research Project And To The Course Duration, A Thesis Organized Into Chapters Would 

Typically Look Like This: 

The Conventional Structure Of Any Research Will Look Like A Book Consisting Of A Number Of 

Chapters, The Number Of Chapters Depending On The Specific Research Topic And The Course 

Duration. But A Broad Outlook Of The Same Would Have The Following:
