2 What is Master Thesis proposal? Master’s thesis proposal is a kind of a draft written with the purpose of making sure that you are allowed to investigate the topic of your thesis and to make sure the way of your investigation is chosen correctly. Master’s thesis is a kind of research which allows you to get a master’s degree. You have to show it to your supervisor and consult him/her about your future project.

3 Purpose of MSP Your research is realistic and practical. It assures that the research is important and required. You are contributing something original to the field. The topic is practicable regarding funds, equipment, supervisors, and data. The research can be completed in the expected time period.

4 1- Title Page Of Your Thesis Proposal: A title should have the following information: It has a short, explanatory title of the proposed thesis project. And it mentions author, institution, department, research mentor, mentor's institution, and date of delivery. How To Write A Thesis Proposal?

5 2-Statement of Problem In Thesis Proposal Problem statement of your Thesis proposal establishes the ground for the approval of your thesis proposal. It introduces the research issues in detail and depth. There are some questions to determine how to write a good problem statement: Why is this problem important to address? Does the dissertation deal with a significant and meaningful problem? Is it clear who or what will be aided by the research findings? Will the findings provide a basis for generalized conclusions? What is the history of your problem? Has the objective of research been expressed clearly? Is the problem statement specific and focused? Does it deal with some aspect of social change?

6 3- Purpose Begin with “The purpose of this study is to…” change, interpret, understand, evaluate, or analyze the problem. State your thesis goal completely. Remember, it should be some form of investigative activity.

7 4- Significance Focus on the benefits of your study not the research problem. Place yourself in the position of responding to someone who says “so what?” Provide a persuasive rationale for your argument by answering the following questions: Why is your study important? To whom is it important? What can happen to society, or theory, or a program if the study is done or not done?

8 5-Procedure Here you are showing the ways that you are using to find out the results and to solve the problem that you stated before. The ways may be checklist, questionnaire and direct observation.

9 6-Definition of Terms Describe for the reader the exact meaning of all terms used in the problem, purpose and methodology sections. Include any terms that, if not defined, might confuse the reader. State the clearest definition of each term using synonyms, analogies, descriptions, examples etc. Define any theoretical terms as they are defined by proponents of the theory you are using.

10 Thesis proposal format: the length of your paper. This is a rather controversial issue, which depends on the examiners’ guidelines and expectations. As a rule, your thesis proposal should be no longer than ten pages, however, some thesis committees ask to shorten a thesis proposal to five pages, or to prolong it up to fifteen pages. This is also a matter of your subject and your ability to answer the questions. However, any thesis proposal format’s golden rule is: “Make it shorter, but more convincing!” Thesis Proposal Format
