Getting Acquainted with a List of Thesis Topics

How to choose the right thesis topic

When choosing a thesis students have to get acquainted with thesis topics and make the difficult decision of which topic top choose and what is best for them and which topic they should commit to.

Special challenges

• Thesis topics have to be original and this is a real challenge when there are mountains of research projects on hand.  
• The thesis topic has to be set in the context of current research on the topic and the work has to be completed to the highest possible standard, so it is a daunting and challenging task.

How to be original

• To be completely original is extremely hard. The best way of tackling this is to try to find new angles and directions for existing research projects.
• The student can try to pursue a totally different result from his research, which no one else has come up with. He may select a niche subject or a variation, which no one has followed up, or a new research methodology.

In depth study and research

• To really get acquainted with thesis topics requires in depth study and research and getting to know other members of a research team working on a thesis who may have interesting an relevant points of view.
• The student has to study previous efforts and thesis on the selected topic and see whether the boundaries of knowledge on the topic can be extended.

Keeping on track

You have to ensure that no one else is working on the same thesis topic in a similar way. This is almost impossible but you can study current research papers and make sure your thesis topic is in line with current research so that you have the correct and up to date framework for your thesis.

Pursue the subject

• You must select a topic that you are interested in because you have to have the single-minded enthusiasm to work on it for a long time.
• You must feel comfortable with the topic and confident that you can pursue it and that it will yield the results you are looking for. It has to be sustainable and you mustn’t get distracted. You have to develop your central argument as an opening statement and stick to it always allowing yourself room to develop the central argument of the thesis to its ultimate conclusion.
