Thesis Vs Dissertation

A thesis is a scholarly piece of research typically submitted by master's students to demonstrate their understanding of a subject, while a dissertation is a more extensive work required for a Ph.D. that showcases original research. The thesis focuses on what the student has learned, whereas the dissertation emphasizes the creation of new knowledge. Both documents have distinct structures, with the dissertation being broader and more complex in scope compared to the thesis.
