Thesis writing Lab

The Lab will provide support to all students who start their master thesis, in particular through:

• Online: three synchronous classes (along the whole academic year) devoted to introduce the master thesis research, its structure, and some related methods and tools.
• In presence/online tutoring meetings (along the whole academic year) to help students with their thesis projects.
• Further support, if requested.

• Guide students through the process of defining a clear, coherent, and feasible research topic and choosing suitable research methods.
• Guide students in organizing their thesis effectively, including the development of research questions, objectives, hypotheses (if applicable), and coherent chapter layouts.
• Strengthen academic writing, with correct structure, citation, and argumentation suitable for a Master’s thesis, and the effective use of sources and research literature.
• Train students to critically review, synthesize, and position their work within the existing body of literature in international tourism.
• Train students in using digital tools for research (e.g., reference managers, data analysis software, plagiarism checkers) to support rigorous thesis development.
