The structure of the thesis report is determined by the topic, the problem setting and the theoretical framework of the thesis. The thesis project in a university of applied sciences can consist of research work, product or production tasks. In many fields of education the thesis can also be practice-based work, eg. artistic or pedagogical assignments or events.
The thesis consists of three larger parts:
The first part
Title page, abstract, contents, (concept definitions)
The body
Introduction, theoretical framework, methods and data, results, discussion and references
The last part
Appendices
Next in this chapter, different structure models are presented. When writing a thesis, these structure models can be applied depending on the nature of the task and the approach to the research problem. In other words, this chapter is about the structure and inside order of the different sections in the thesis report.
