It is offered as an example for those who find a structured format helpful, particularly when drafting their thesis for progress reviews. The structure aligns with the common expectations of reviewers and can assist in identifying what has been completed and what remains to be done.  \nPlease consult your supervision team about the appropriate thesis structure for your discipline. They are best placed to guide you and may recommend looking at examples of other CDU theses in your discipline via the university’s library repository.  \nThis template is based on CDU's branded report format. It is generic and not tailored to any specific discipline.  \nThesis formatting can be complex. While this template provides a starting point, it does not guarantee compliance with all formatting requirements. Students are encouraged to check formatting carefully and seek assistance where needed. Students may consider engaging a professional editor noting:  \n• the relevant Australian Standards (see Clause 28 below)  \n• the costs involved, which are the responsibility of the student unless covered by their faculty research allocation or other faculty funding (check with your Faculty HDR Administrator for details)  \n• that the editing process should be discussed with the editor in advance and factored into the thesis submission timeline.  \nPresentation requirements  \nAs per the CDU Higher Degree by Research-Preparation, Submission and Examinations Procedure :  \nPresentation of Theses  \n(22) The thesis should conform to the following format and length:  \na. a PhD thesis cannot exceed 100,000 words, excluding appendices;  \nb. a Masters by Research thesis cannot exceed 50,000 words, excluding appendices; and  \n[c. an](c. an) exegesis, as part of the artefact and exegesis doctorate, should not exceed 50,000 words.  \n(23) The format of the thesis will be determined by the platforms deployed in the artefact and the requirements of the exegesis to confirm an original contribution to knowledge.  \n(24) The thesis and/or other approved work must contain the results of the candidate's study and research.  \n(25) Candidates may choose to use a range of media platforms to further their research project.  \n(26) Candidates should include in their thesis:  \na. a suitable title page, abstract, acknowledgements, and table of contents; and  \nb. a declaration stating that none of the material has been submitted as part of another degree or diploma, none of the material has been published before, except when acknowledged, and that a copy of this thesis will be available to access online, if applicable.  \n(27) Candidates including any of their published works in their thesis should specify where this material has been previously published, including precise citation details and co-authorship information with regard to research design, data collection and analysis and substantive writing and editing. Candidates submitting an artefact and exegesis thesis must demonstrate how the two components of the research have configured a significant original contribution to knowledge.  \nEditing of Theses  \n(28) Supervisors, professional editors, and other individuals can offer feedback to improve and to edit theses, providing the level of advice conforms to the Australian Standards for Editing Practice.  \n(29) Candidates must acknowledge all editorial advice in the “Acknow","cbCaiiKJIM8CB69P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiKJIM8CB69P","pdf",407791,"English","# Presentation requirements\n## Thesis length limits\n## Thesis structure and required components\n# Editing of theses\n## Australian Standards for Editing Practice\n## Acknowledgements of editorial advice\n# Suggested thesis headings\n## Preliminary pages\n## Main body of thesis\n## End matter","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CDU HDR thesis template?\",\"answer\":\"The template is provided as a guide and structured example to help HDR students draft a thesis for progress reviews by aligning with common reviewer expectations and clarifying what has been completed versus what remains.\"},{\"question\":\"What presentation and length limits are stated for theses?\",\"answer\":\"A PhD thesis must not exceed 100,000 words, excluding appendices; a Master by Research thesis must not exceed 50,000 words, excluding appendices; and an exegesis as part of the artefact and exegesis doctorate should not exceed 50,000 words.\"},{\"question\":\"Which parts must be included in the thesis?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates are instructed to include a suitable title page, abstract, acknowledgements, and table of contents, plus a declaration that the material has not been submitted for another degree or diploma and has not been published before (with exceptions when acknowledged).\"},{\"question\":\"What is required regarding editorial advice and acknowledgements?\",\"answer\":\"Supervisors and professional editors may provide feedback, and candidates must acknowledge all editorial advice in the “Acknowledgements” section, aligned with the Australian Standards for Editing Practice.\"}]","Charles Darwin University - Thesis Template - HDR Thesis Template Disclaimer | PDF"]
