Do you want to make a good start with your thesis? Make sure you invest in designing a clear thesis proposal. In this course you will be working towards a solid proposal for your own research through assignments – on which you will receive individual feedback.
With a good question and fitting sub-questions, collecting, and analysing information (literature and/or other research data) will be much more effective and efficient. The thesis proposal also provides support when writing the thesis. In a thesis proposal you define the scope of your research, why this is relevant, what strategy you will use to find an answer and what sort of conclusion this leads to. The proposal will also help you organising the text and creating a preliminary content structure.
