What is an integrated PhD?

An Integrated PhD is a programme of study that extends over four years full-time study or seven years part-time study. Candidates are expected to submit a thesis no later than the end of the fifth year (or eighth year for part-time candidates).

Is the thesis statement indented?

The thesis should be double spaced throughout, even in block quotes, footnotes and references. No words should be hyphenated and there should be two spaces after end-of-sentence punctuation. Italics should never be used for emphasis.

How do you write an indirect thesis statement?

The indirect thesis statement does not state the explicit reasons, while the direct thesis statement does. If one writes, “I love New York for three reasons,” the fact that they love New York is the topic, and “three reasons” are an indirect thesis statement. The essay will contain the three reasons.

What are the two types of thesis statements?

There are two major types of thesis statements: explanatory and argumentative. The explanatory thesis announces the subject to the reader; it never declares a stance which needs an argument to defend. These explanatory theses are evident in expository essays and research essays.
