- even if you still don´t know how to start or improve your thesis!
If you are reading these lines, it is because you are aware of the capital importance and impact your BA., MA. or Ph.D. will have on your future life. You are aware that your chances of reaching top positions depend greatly on this single manuscript – your thesis! Maybe you´ve already started to work on your dissertation, and each time you review your work so far you find yourself less convinced by it or more unsatisfied with it.
So – why don’t try a different way?
Most of the students who ask me for advice are about to give up on their thesis for a several reasons: Some of them suffer from blank page syndrome and don’t know how to start. Others have already reached the middle of their writing process but have gotten stuck and feel lost. They fear they can’t finish on their own by the deadline for submission.
And so the story continues… A lot of students struggle to formulate precise initial research questions or lack the right structure for their chapters or simply don’t know how to conduct fieldwork or carry out empirical research… Arrrg!
It´s easy to feel overwhelmed when you are not exactly sure what to do to improve your writing and polish your work. Or even worse: You feel insecure and anxious about your ability to cope with all the challenges on your own…
As we all know, the Internet is possibly the “biggest library in the world”, with access to all kinds of information. It’s tempting since everything you need seems to be just one fingertip away. However, with so many untrustworthy sources online, often you have to invest too much of your precious time (remember: time always flies) to verify whether a source or content is reliable so that you can achieve your ultimate goal.
These days, it’s a common reality: not all universities can offer tailored, comprehensive support to every student writing a thesis. From my experience lecturing at several universities to classes with twenty students or more, I can confirm that it is impossible for a single professor to pay extensive and exclusive attention to each of them, due to administrative processes and other time limitations.
I find it hard to watch so many students–who at the beginning are looking forward to writing their thesis and are feeling inspired and excited–who then end up desperate. They give up, drop out and leave their university without obtaining a degree because they feel lost, stuck, or unmotivated and do not know how to continue the thesis.
I developed a special step-by-step framework for you that unites all of my methods, secrets, strategies, theoretical foundations, and experiences–which helped me to obtain summa cum laude…
(hint: you won’t find it anywhere else)
It will take you by the hand and help you through the entire thesis-writing process from the very inception until submission and will even prepare you in the best possible way for your thesis defense. Do you want to try it out?
Possibly you already heard of me through different media channels. My name is Dr. Friederike Jurth, and since 2010 I give lectures on Methodology, Empirical Research, Anthropology, and Transcultural (Music) Studies in collaboration with universities in the United States, Germany, Spain, and Brazil. In 2010 I started to carry out 7-year-long fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro and to present my research at conferences all around the world, such as in Japan, the United States, Australia, Brazil, Thailand, Switzerland, and many others. In addition, I worked as a lecturer and researcher with Germany’s famous UNESCO Chair.
In addition to German, I am equally fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish (and currently teaching in all of these languages).
In all my years of supporting and coaching students with their academic thesis, I detected several problems: Most thesis writing students have doubts about how to start, continue, and finish a thesis or how to prepare an outstanding presentation for their oral defense. It´s widely known that supervisors are occupied with different kinds of work and are just able to provide feedback for their students from time to time. Scholars attempt to acquire information and improve their works on their own – even if they decide to take “less orthodox “or legal ways.
Maybe you are getting curious about my technical area of expertise, asking yourself if it matches yours. Before getting to this point, I would like to include some words on the foundation and general structure shaping a thesis to make clear, why successful thesis consultation isn´t only a question of sharing exactly the same area of research: The writing process consists of multiple layers: First of all, you have to be sure about the overall structure of your chapters and sections, decide on the methodological approach, theoretical lens and foundation, and be familiar with the standard norms and rules of research and academic writing before entering your technical area. The structure and approach to thesis writing are quite similar, regardless of the specific area (and if you are studying political science, fine arts, philosophy, economy, medicine,…).
Now, that you learned about the shared foundation of the theses, let me share some information about the field of research I am passionate about: Transcultural Music Studies. My Ph.D. thesis explores the process of composing the music from the carnival from Rio de Janeiro, called samba-enredo. During my years of fieldwork, I researched the samba schools and favelas to discover the historical roots and current practices that shape and influence this musical style. Until today I am deeply connected to Rio and the participants of my research and I currently continue working on related projects.
Back to the UNESCO chair, I defended my Ph.D. and graduated summa cum laude in 2020 and started to collaborate with some of the most famous universities worldwide as a researcher, associate professor and examiner. I can assure to provide you with the help you need to overcome all challenges and difficulties along your way, and to guide you to a successful thesis submission and oral defense.
Now that you know, what the Campus from MyThesis Academy offers, it should be clear that it doesn´t consist of a simple thesis writing course, but of a comprehensive conception. I´ve personally made sure that you gain all resources you need to achieve greater results.
The first academy worldwide that will help you to create and finish your thesis on time, with the success that you’ve been dreaming of, even if you feel insecure about your academic skills or lost on how to start!
In contrast to other courses out there, I convey everything you need to know in a clear, concise and transparent way and provide a complete and comprehensive framework for you. Every single module, class, and topic is designed with meticulous dedication to make sure that signing up for the Campus will be the best decision you ever made.
