You bring the main points without adding anything that has not been mentioned in the thesis including e.g. the aim, methods, research material, results and conclusion. All the detailed facts such as charts or page references are excluded.

No references to literature used are made. Neither are any titles or subtitles used.

Use spacing between lines. Do not divide words into syllables. In the abstract, you most often use the past tense because the work has already been completed.

You should write the abstract only when you have finished your thesis. Use the Finnish abstract as a basis but do not try to translate directly from the Finnish abstract into English; it won’t work that way.
