Step Six: Writing
Reading sample theses
As you prepare for your thesis, you might want to get a sense of what you can accomplish in your finished product. Reading past theses can show you the scope and nature of well-done undergraduate projects. Because theses in different areas of psychology often look quite different, it will help you to examine several in the same general area you plan to conduct your research in. A critical examination of several past theses will help you when you come to write up your own project, and can help you now as you begin to shape your upcoming research and prepare a feasible proposal.
The Psychology Undergraduate Office has several prize-winning theses from past years. You may sign these out to see what the best undergraduate work looks like. At the bottom of this page are lists of titles for more recent past undergraduate theses in psychology. You can get an idea of thesis topics, although these theses are currently unavailable (the Social Relations Library has closed, and the materials have not been relocated).
