like me most of the students find it very difficult to write a thesis, because of many valid reasons and a few of them are mentioned below:

1.    Lack of knowledge on how to write a thesis.
2.    Not familiar with the structuring of a thesis.
3.    Lack of proper guidance.
4.    Lack of time management.

The reason of writing this article if to help students with basic information on how to write a thesis, what are its basis structures and the awareness of importance of each chapter.

A thesis is mainly divided into five chapters and each chapter covers a certain part of the thesis and has its own importance.

Chapter 1: This chapter is also known as introduction chapter, in which the introduction, aims and objectives of the thesis are highlighted.

Chapter 2: This chapter is also called literature review or review of the literature, in this chapter the author is required to highlight all the sources used in the thesis but keep in mind that literature review is not limited to just  list the names of sources used but the it requires to highlight briefly.

Chapter 3: This chapter is mostly named as methodology, this chapter covers how the data was collected and implemented in the thesis which is necessary to mention in detail in this chapter.

Chapter 4: This chapter is also known as findings and in this chapter the author mentions the result and outcome of the research done on the topic but it has to detailed and precise.

Chapter 5: This chapter is called as discussion, in this chapter the author of the thesis concludes and discuss the main topic, this chapter can be considered as one of the most chapter because in this chapter the author is willing to wrap up the thesis and has to give strong arguments on the reasons of researching on the particular topic.

Writing an Undergraduate Dissertation


How to Undertake Undergraduate Dissertations

A dissertation at an undergraduate level does not represent one’s distinctive thoughts or opinions or even innovative data (as is the case with graduate dissertations), but basically the understanding of the subject of the selected dissertation topic. An undergraduate dissertation must, equally; include the writer’s improvement and explain a self-governing piece of writing, duplicate thorough research and analysis of connected data.

Before initiating your undergraduate dissertation, you have to understand that undergraduate dissertations, graduate dissertations, PhD dissertations and approximately all other high-level research papers look similar but the distinction occurs in the level and the originality of the knowledge provided. Hence don’t perform tricks to make a mixture of all research papers, but focus on your particular undergraduate dissertation. All undergraduate dissertations must have the following dissertation chapters:
  • introduction
  • literature review
  • methodology
  • findings/discussion

It obviously explains the finest way of planning and conducting research using qualitative and quantitative methods. Apart from this you can also get a simple solution from your advisor. He/she is always ready to help you regarding your dissertation. So, whenever you have any difficulty, you are supposed to contact to your advisor first.
