How to Create an Effective Thesis Statement in 5 Easy Steps

Creating a thesis statement can be a daunting task. It’s one of the most important sentences in your paper, and it needs to be done right. But don’t worry — with these five easy steps, you’ll be able to create an effective thesis statement in no time.

Step 1: Brainstorm Ideas

The first step is to brainstorm ideas for your paper. Think about what you want to say and write down any ideas that come to mind. This will help you narrow down your focus and make it easier to create your thesis statement.

Step 2: Research Your Topic

Once you have some ideas, it’s time to do some research on your topic. Look for sources that support your ideas and provide evidence for the points you want to make. This will help you refine your argument and make it more convincing.

Step 3: Formulate Your Argument

Now that you have done some research, it’s time to formulate your argument. Take the points you want to make and put them into one or two sentences that clearly state what your paper is about. This will be the basis of your thesis statement.

Step 4: Refine Your Thesis Statement

Once you have formulated your argument, it’s time to refine your thesis statement. Make sure that it is clear, concise, and specific. It should also be arguable so that readers can disagree with it if they choose.

Step 5: Test Your Thesis Statement

The last step is to test your thesis statement. Does it accurately reflect the points you want to make? Is it clear and concise? Does it make an arguable point? If not, go back and refine it until it meets all of these criteria.

Creating an effective thesis statement doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these five easy steps, you can create a strong thesis statement in no time at all.

In a bid to ensure that all published theses become more findable, the LDE GMD Centre has launched the MA thesis portal. An added ambition of this portal is to showcase the high-quality theses that come out of the programme every year.

This thesis portal combines all GMD MA theses from all tracks into one single portal. 

Visitors of this portal will be redirected to the respective institution's repository to have access to the full-text version of the theses. This portal will continually be populated and updated.

Een groot deel van de EUR-scripties vind je full-text via de EUR Thesis Repository.

Ben je op zoek naar een specifieke scriptie en vind je die niet in de EUR Thesis Repository, probeer dan sEURch. Hier vind je de gegevens van online scripties tot en met 2013 en van gedrukte scripties tot en met 2014. Gedrukte scripties zijn, net als boeken, uitleenbaar.

Niet full-text beschikbaar? Niet alle scripties in de EUR Thesis repository zijn full-text beschikbaar, hoewel de metadata wel getoond wordt. Wil je toch toegang, probeer dan de auteur te vinden via social media (bijvoorbeeld LinkedIn of Facebook) en vraag of hij/zij bereid is je de scriptie in te laten zien. 

Geen EUR-student of -medewerker? Om toegang te krijgen tot de full-text van een EUR-scriptie heb je in sommige gevallen een ERNA-account nodig. Alleen EUR-studenten en -medewerkers hebben dit. Ben je geen student of medewerker van de EUR dan kan je, voor een dag gedurende de openingstijden van de informatiebalie, een EUR-account krijgen. Je hebt dan toegang tot de digitale collectie, waaronder de EUR Thesis Repository .
