How to Write a Thesis Title

The thesis title will be the first thing your professor reads so it is important to get it right. Your thesis is the product of research and explains your findings. The title needs to clearly identify the topic of your thesis and the angle of your research. You may change your thesis title as your work progresses and you uncover new information. This is acceptable as long as your final title reflects the work you have undertaken

      Read your course notes and ensure you understand the exact form that your thesis title should take. Some professors may require a simple, descriptive title, others may expect the title to structure the thesis. You could look at thesis titles used in the previous year, as this will help you to establish the type of title you should write.

      Write down the central argument of your thesis. Your title should identify the angle of your research and not just the topic. By including the central idea of your argument, you will produce a more specific title and avoid making a bland statement.

      Use keywords in your title and if you are writing about a text, include the name of the work. If you are writing about a specific time period, ensure this appears in the title.
