Case study: thesis at ESEI
One of our students, Rodrigo Ramos Sampaio, who studied international relations and international trade, defended his thesis two weeks ago. He chose to focus on sustainability and entitled it Towards a Green Future: An Analysis of Supply Chain Sustainability in the European Union Soy Products Industry.
We asked him about the thesis process, from concept creation to completion, and what he thought of the experience.
Field Experience
Did you know that some graduate schools waive a thesis requirement for students completing a field experience? If you think this sounds like an easier option, keep in mind that your school may require you to complete 300 or more hours of supervised fieldwork after graduation. It can also mean that it will take you three years or more to graduate. Students who do a thesis often finish it in two years or less. Schools that offer fieldwork in lieu of a thesis often require students to complete detailed records of the work they do and submit these records to the department before graduation.
As a student entering college, you need to know which option is best for you.
Some want an answer to the question of whether all graduate students do a thesis, since they dislike research and the idea of spending long hours in the library. A non-thesis track is ideal for those who want to learn more about their chosen field and take more courses without writing a separate paper. L’option de project de recherche est la meilleure pour ceux qui veulent créer un projet detaillé sans faire de recherche, et les programs d’expérience sur le terrain sont attractants pour ceux qui ne craignent pas de passer plus de temps à travailler avant d’ get a diploma.
Background investigation
This is where you develop your background knowledge. Get to know the leading big names and thinkers in this field and understand the leading theories and arguments on the subject of study. Build a library.
Here are people who will help you with your topic. They include experienced individuals who are willing to work with you and have experience working with undergraduate students in their thesis process.
There are two fundamental points in the thesis-
- What is your topic, and
- What are your ideas
