Stuck on your PhD introduction chapter? Use this structure.

Writing your PhD thesis introduction chapter can feel like an impossible task, especially when no one tells you exactly what to include. Should you start with a quote? A stat? A summary of your whole thesis? How do you explain your research clearly when you’re still figuring it out yourself? If you’ve been staring at a blank screen and wondering, “Am I doing this right?”, you’re in the right place. In this video, I’ll walk you through a simple, structured way to draft your PhD introduction chapter, even if your research is still evolving. I’ll break down the six essential sections, show you how to write each one without getting overwhelmed, and give you examples you can adapt to your own project. This isn’t about writing perfectly, it’s about writing with clarity and purpose, so your thesis has a strong foundation and you finally feel like you're making progress. Here’s what we’ll cover: 📌 Why you should draft, not write, your introduction chapter early on 📌 How to create an attention-grabbing opener (even if you haven’t found it yet) 📌 How to explain your research clearly and simply — in your own words 📌 The difference between aims and objectives (with examples you can tweak!) 📌 How to answer the examiner’s favourite question: “So what?” 📌 What to include in your roadmap (and when to write it) 📌 How to define key terms without going off on a tangent Which section of your Introduction chapter are you stuck on? Aims and objectives? The opener? The structure? I’d love to know — and your question might feature in a future video.
