Why are theses so long?

841 viewsOther

This might be a silly question but why are theses so long (200+ pages)? Someone just told me that they finished their 213 pages-long bachelor’s thesis, but I‘m confused about who the audience would be. Who would spend so much time reading a 213 thesis of a bachelor student? Do people actually read them? What is the purpose of some theses being so long. Also, on a Masters level, does the long length not make important information inaccessible, because it‘s buried deep down in those hundreds of pages?

Research can be detailed. My bachelor thesis was 50 pages of writing and 200 pages of data. The actual research data needs to go somewhere for it to make sense.
