No topic yet?

Most people do not get stuck on the writing, but on the start. The field is clear, but it does not turn into a question that can carry a whole paper.

Tell us what you are studying. You get three concrete research questions from different angles, each with a sentence on why it works at your length and how to approach it.

Why finding a topic usually goes wrong

Almost everyone makes the same mistake: looking for a topic when they need a question.

A field is not a topic

“Sustainability in retail” is a field. You could write ten papers about it. Only the question turns it into your paper.

Thinking too big

The first topic that comes to mind is almost always too broad. You only notice while writing, after three weeks are gone.

Material not checked

Many choose a topic and only then find there is no literature or no access to data. Check that first.

Only one angle

With one idea you take it. With three you choose the best. That is why you get three different ones here.

From idea to submission

Quick answers

How do I find a topic for my thesis?

Start from your field and narrow down until one question is left that you can answer within the length of your paper. It helps to collect several angles on the same field first and then check which one you can find material for.

How narrow should the topic be?

Narrow enough that you can cover it fully within your page count. A 15-page term paper carries a much narrower question than an 80-page master's thesis.

Can I use an AI tool to find a topic?

Collecting ideas is generally unproblematic; writing the paper remains your own work. Still, always agree on the topic with your supervisor and follow your university's rules.
