RW4008.pngRW4008: Writing the Bachelor of Arts Thesis is a capstone undergraduate course designed to guide final-year BA students through the complete process of planning, researching, writing, and submitting an undergraduate thesis. The course treats the BA thesis as a sustained academic argument and an initiation into independent scholarly work, rather than as an extended essay.
Students are systematically introduced to the nature and purpose of a first thesis, the formulation of viable research questions, effective project planning, and the conventions of academic writing. Particular emphasis is placed on conducting and writing a critical literature review, designing an appropriate research methodology, and developing a coherent thesis structure from introduction to conclusion. The course also addresses academic integrity, citation practices, revision strategies, and preparation for examination and submission.
By the end of the course, students will have produced a substantial, well-structured BA thesis that demonstrates intellectual independence, critical engagement with scholarship, and adherence to accepted academic standards. The course is suitable across humanities and social science disciplines and functions as a bridge between undergraduate study and postgraduate research.
