Step 1: Formulation of foundation for Thesis

The initial steps for formulating my Master’s Thesis are laid out succinctly by my lecturer at Charles Sturt University. They are:

  • Project Title: a short title of 12-15 words.
  • Project Brief:
    Abstract: a summary of your chosen topic in 150 words.
    Background/Description: provide context for your topic.
    Project Aim/Objectives: specify the goals of your project.
    Project Problem Domain: explain why you are undertaking this project and what key research questions it addresses.
    Deliverables/Outcomes: describe the expected results or outputs of your project.
  • Resources consulted: list the three or more sources you used for your research so far.
  • Alignment with course or specialisation: Discuss how your thesis topic aligns to your Master’s degree specialisation.
