Your Thesis
The goal of all higher degree research (HDR) programs is to write a thesis that demonstrates how you have made an original contribution to knowledge. While the task of writing a thesis can be daunting, there are several things you can do to stay on track and complete your thesis on time while producing your best work.
The Graduate Research School (GRS) runs two seminars that will help you prepare for your thesis submission:
Thesis Submission Seminar Outlines the submission and examination process
Using Publications in Your Thesis Seminar Examines how publications may be incorporated into your thesis, including how authorship is determined, and when to seek permission to use published work
The GRS also offers a weekly HDR writing group and a Thesis Writing Boot Camp to help you build a regular writing practice. For information on the seminars and events available, please visit this page .

The biggest thing is putting the time into thesis. No-one is going to chase you for thesis. It has to come from you. (And be careful that you slice off appropriate time for DP if you're doing that at the same time, remembering that full time uni is a full time job during session.) 2.

I am currently doing a research thesis. Thesis A is essentially literature review, think ~30 pages of research based on your topic. This is summary of what information is out there, what areas are lacking and what your thesis intends to do to help bridge that gap. So obviously if you lack interest in that area you'll find this pretty tedious.
The thesis components (A,B, and part C) are 4 UoC, so that is indicative of how much time they'll take up. It definitely won't be anywhere CLOSE to 75 hours per week though haha. IMO it's not hard doing it alongside L4 electives as long as you don't get behind in those courses because then catching up on everything will be a total pain in the ...

Engineering Thesis. Hi, I was just wondering how thesis generally works for Engineering? I know there's the two different ones, Research Thesis which is individual and Thesis which is group. Just curious how many in a group? How easy is it to find a supervisor? Are the topics really restrictive? Just trying to get my head around the thesis year.

The course consists of three assignments: initial literature review, presentation, final report. The final report is ultimately what your Thesis is, and its about 30-40 pages in total. Research thesis is much more flexible (I think). It spans three terms and you need to take initiative. You decide (before your first course even starts) what ...
