thesis GUIDELINES
Thesis procedure after you received the green light from HES to enter into your Thesis phase and after you passed all your MBA Courses.
Step 1: Formulate a thesis proposal and email it to me first
Step 2: After my approval of your proposal, you have to email the proposal to HES
Step 3: Approval thesis proposal by the Exam Board
Step 4: Writing process of your thesis conforming the time schedule
Step 5: Approval by me of your thesis document (draft)
Step 6: Approval by your 2nd supervisor (who will be appointed by HES)
Step 7: Hand-in of final thesis document
Step 8: Thesis presentation and defense
The research has to meet the following conditions:
鈥?/p>Carried out individually by the student
鈥?/p>Innovative / original in nature
鈥?/p>Integral application of knowledge from the various master classes
鈥?/p>Related to a concrete real- life case
First step is to define your thesis proposal. A thesis proposal should meet up the following requirements:
1. Introduction
2. Background
3. Significance of topic
4. Methodology
5. Timeline
6. Resource materials, literature review
The thesis takes time to write so should be started about the same time you start your research.
You already know what the chapters will contain; 1. Introduction - what the problem is and why it is important and relevant, 2. Background - what other people have done, your literature research on the topic 3. Work - what you did, your own research (empirical work) 4. Analysis - what were the results of what you did, and 5. Conclusions - your conclusions and suggestions for further work.
Theses are to be printed single-sided and single-column, with 1.5 or double spacing, in 12-point typeface, on white, A4 paper, with margins of 2cm all round. Variations may be arranged in consultation with your supervisor. For instance, single-spacing is occasionally preferred to conserve paper and storage space. The thesis must be bound. Cloth binding is not mandatory, but you might prefer it after the hard work you have put in. The criterion is that it holds together when dropped from waist-height. A thesis typically consists of 30--60 pages of words and diagrams, not including appendices, with the recommended formatting. Most satisfactory theses contain 5,000 to 25,000 words. A picture (or a carefully scaled and labeled graph) is worth a thousand words!
The thesis should have a title/first page stating the full title of the thesis, your name, my name as supervisor, the calendar year in which the work was done, the name of the School, Faculty and the degree sought.
An Abstract / executive summary of 2-3 A4 pages, follows the title page. The abstract should clearly state the subject area, and what was achieved. If in doubt about what an abstract is, you are directed to a suitable recent journal for examples of abstracts. A table of contents (TOC) is required. Each of these starts on a new page.
If the thesis includes an acknowledgment, and/or a preface, these usually precede the table of contents.
A List of Figures, List of Tables and a Glossary of frequently used acronyms are optional and depend on your particular thesis. Each of these starts on a new page. Pages prior to and including the table of contents need not be numbered. 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
