Thesis Development

The different stages of preparing the thesis are covered here, with online resources providing access to such items as writing proposals*, choosing a research method, doing literature searches, using statistics and so on. We want you to have access to the best possible resources available, so there are also links to resources outside the University.

*Although UTS research degree students must submit a research proposal with their application, some faculties may require a revision of the original proposal once the application has been accepted.

Have a look at the range of workshops provided by the University Graduate School, or examine the range of excellent online tutorials on Statistics provided by Surfstat Australia. There are also some very useful links to advice on scholarly writing provided by the University of Queensland.
