Answer:

A summary of a thesis is like an abstract of a research paper. Basically, the purpose of the summary is to give the reader an overview of the main points of your thesis. The summary should include the following points:

What is the thesis about?
What is the purpose of the thesis?
What were the methods used to research the information?
What are the results, conclusions, and recommendations that the thesis presents?

Generally, the summary is about 200-350 words long, but you should verify this with your supervisor. Also, it generally follows an introduction-body-conclusion structure.

Answer:

First of all, remember that your summary is a brief introduction into an overview of your research. Your purpose is to give short and clear explanations to the reader, so make it easy to read and understand. You might even consider using a bullet list instead of proper prose. Usually such summary contains 120 or less (for undergraduate theses), 150 words (for Masters theses) and 350 words (for a doctoral dissertation).
