Dissertations and Theses: Home

About

thesis or dissertation is:

"Document submitted in support of candidature for an academic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings."

"In some contexts, the word 'thesis' is used for part of a bachelor's or master's course, while 'dissertation' is normally applied to a doctorate, while in others, the reverse is true."
