How to write a thesis proposal starts with locking one specific topic, then building a background that reveals a research gap, sharpening clear research questions, reviewing the relevant literature, and closing with a methodology you can actually run. These five parts form Chapters 1 to 3 that become the foundation of the whole thesis.
- Narrow your interest into a single, specific, researchable topic before writing anything
- Build a background that flows from a broad issue toward a clear research gap
- Align the problem statement, objectives, literature review, and methodology as one argument
- The official thesis writing guidelines from your own study program
- Access to indexed journals through Garuda, DOAJ, or Google Scholar
