How many words will be required in the Masters thesis and PhD thesis?
Your Thesis could be written in Arial font format and the font size could be 12 points. A thesis has to be long enough to explain your results and contain enough background material that people can actually figure out what you’re doing (and why).

There is no specific minimum or maximum number of pages. At IICSE University, we count the number of words, not the number of pages. The maximum number of words for a PhD is about 80,000 (a recently approved thesis was about 30,000) unless the subject is creative writing, in which case the maximum number of words should be about 150,000. The word count includes only words in the text itself and excludes titles, captions, footnotes, abstract, contents pages, and appendices.

In a nutshell, the thesis is not to exceed 80,000 words (approx. 350 pages) for the PhD degree and 60,000 words for the Master’s degree. A bachelor's thesis is often 40–60 pages long, a diploma thesis and a master's thesis usually 60–100. These limits include all text, figures, tables, and photographs, but exclude the bibliography, cited references, and appendices.
