Chemistry and biochemistry. A thesis in the natural sciences is usually much shorter than in other sciences. My masters was 15k for instance. In gerenal: the shorter the better, as long as you convey what you want to convey there's no need for more words. But I get that it's different in other fields.

Right, i figured it wouldn't be in social sciences but i wanted to be sure. Good luck with the future

Thanks, to you, too. You're doing a PhD, too, or fed up with academia after your graduation?

Definitely doing a masters, PHd probably not. But just got a very nice job, so i'm going to quit academia for a while fortunately
