How long should a thesis paper be?

The average length of a thesis paper is 40 pages long, though this varies from project to project. This total covers the text, the references list and any figures but does not include appendices. A student may use tables and avoid repetitions to keep to the required length when writing.

A thesis paper is a scholarly paper that attempts to answer a hypothesis. A master's degree student researches and writes a thesis under the guidance of her research mentor in order to receive her master's degree.
