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?

You’re thinking that the end thesis has wide value in itself but in some fields that’s not true. We may take sections and publish them separately in journals, but the final thesis isn’t really designed for a wide audience. It’s a demonstration of effort and skills
