The approximate maximum word length of the chapters
is as follows (assuming a literature-based dissertation
with no primary data collection. Dissertations
incorporating primary data may have shorter literature
review chapters, but longer findings/results chapters):
Possible recommended structure for students doing
systematic literature review based dissertations:
Chapter 1: Introduction 1,000 words
Chapter 2: Literature Review 8000 words
Chapter 3: Methodology 1,000 words
Chapter 4: Discussion + Conclusion 2,000 words
This gives a maximum total of 12,000 words
Possible recommended structure for students with
online primary empirical data (or secondary data):
Chapter 1: Introduction 1,000 words
Chapter 2: Literature Review 5,000 words
Chapter 3: Methodology 1,500 words
Chapter 4: Findings/results 3000 words
Chapter 5: Discussion and Conclusion 1,500 words
This gives a maximum total of 12,000 words.
PS. These are approximate word lengths.
