The number of words in a master's thesis is generally between 30,000 and 50,000. The number of words varies from school to school and from major to major. The general tutor will give an approximate word count condition. Generally speaking, the number of words refers to the corrected number of words, that is, the first chapter to the last chapter, excluding abstracts, catalogues, acknowledgements, references, appendices, etc. And it refers to the number of words rather than the number of characters. For example, a 30,000-word graduation thesis is a 30,000-word Chinese character, excluding punctuation and spaces.
