Hello, the word count requirement of 8000 words in a thesis only includes the text, excluding the words in the table of contents, abstracts, thanks and references.

This generally refers to the number of words required for undergraduate thesis. Others, such as: the number of words in the text of college graduation thesis should be more than 5000 words, and the number of words in master thesis may be more than 30000 words. Therefore, you must pay attention to writing enough words when writing a paper, because this is a hard requirement, and it is easy to fail if you fail to meet this requirement.

In addition, the text generally includes: the background introduction is the beginning of the paper, which mainly explains the writing purpose, practical significance, understanding of the research problems and puts forward the central argument of the paper. The next two or three chapters are the main contents, including research contents and methods, experimental descriptions, experimental results and analysis (discussion) and so on.
