Thesis Completion Plan

The Thesis Completion Plan is a document, normally of at least 2 pages (single spaced, 12 point type, with 2.5 cm margins all round), setting out detailed plans for completion of the degree, including both any further research work required and the timetable for completion of the thesis. As an appendix to this document, and not included in the page count, there should be a table of contents for the thesis in its current state of completion, giving page numbers for the start of each chapter and each section/subsection of a chapter.

In summary, the plan should contain:

• a table of contents of the thesis showing chapter and section names.
• expected number of pages for each chapter
• for chapters containing original research, percentage of research work completed
• for each chapter, percentage of writing completed (or total number of pages for each chapter).
• the expected date of completion of each chapter
• the expected date of submission of the thesis.
