This repository contains instructions for how to start your thesis, write your research proposal and then your thesis. You are advised to fork this repository and use it from the beigninning of the thesis up to its completion.
This repository contains a proposal template, a literature review template (note: not all students need a separate literature review; talk to your advisor about this), as well as a master thesis template. You do not have to use them, but you are advised to do so.
- First and foremost: read the manual. Your advisor will never have to remind you of any of the things mentioned in there. It's your own responsibility to remind your advisor of each step, with an email (e.g., to create a committee for the thesis, a greenlight, or to schedule a thesis defense, etc.).
- Write a research proposal. Read the guide on how to write a research proposal, along with the template.
- Send an email to Geert-Jan Houben and setup a meeting with him.
- After Geert-Jan Houben approves the thesis plan, he will have to sign a couple of forms you are officially a MSc thesis candidate with a clear subject and plan.
- Start executing on the plan.
