Written a thesis before?

If you've written a thesis before, you already have valuable research and writing skills!
However, each university and country has unique academic standards.

  • Understand UHasselt’s standards
  • Review the thesis guidelines of your program, especially for structure, citations, layout, and ethics
  • Early  discussion with your supervisor can help clarify expectations and prevent issues
  • Use your existing skills, but stay open
  • While your research experience is valuable, be open to new methodologies or frameworks
  • Adapt your skills to align with UHasselt’s expectations
  • Find a fresh angle
  • If your new topic relates to previous research, avoid reusing content 
  • Collaborate with your supervisor to refine the focus and explore new dimensions of the topic
  • Adapt to academic English
