Run your survey with the audience you actually need to reach — not just people around you. With a verified panel and speed that meets your thesis deadline.
Sorbunu supports education and academic production. We offer special pricing for students and academics conducting thesis and academic research.
A thesis survey is a data collection tool used to gather data for a master's or doctoral study. The value of a thesis survey depends not only on its questions but also on the representativeness of the sample it reaches. Sorbunu enables students and academics to reach their target audience at an affordable budget through its verified panel.
The challenge isn't collecting data — it's the right sample
The hard part of a thesis survey isn't writing the questions — it's getting them to the right people. Most researchers at this stage share their survey with friends and on social media, asking groups for participation. Sometimes raffles are even organized to boost response rates.
This method is convenience sampling. It means your sample consists of people you can reach, not your research's target population. When the two don't overlap, findings cannot be generalized and the study's representativeness weakens.
This is often the most questioned part of the methodology section during defense. When asked how the sample was formed, data collected from friends and social media opens up the validity of months of hard work to debate.
Reach a sample that represents your population
Sorbunu operates on a panel of over four million verified respondents. You define your target audience using demographic and behavioral criteria — age, gender, city, education level, occupation, and more.
This way, your survey reaches your research's target population, not just convenient contacts. Through quotas and targeting, your sample gains representativeness. Respondents are verified and pass data quality checks. You stand on solid ground regarding representation and generalizability in your methodology section.
Speed that meets your thesis deadline
Sharing a survey link for weeks trying to reach enough respondents often strains submission timelines. With Sorbunu, since fieldwork runs on a verified panel, you reach your target respondent count within days.
This difference becomes especially apparent when deadlines approach or when you need to complete a data gap before your defense.
A sample that fits your budget
Reaching a representative sample doesn't require a corporate market research budget. The study is planned according to the sample size you need and progresses in a structure suitable for student and academic research.
We'll determine together how many respondents you need and build the plan accordingly.
How it works
The process has three steps. First, you set up your survey on Sorbunu — if you already have questions ready, you just need to transfer them. Then you define your target audience and sample size. In the final step, you receive results from the verified panel in bulk and start your analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on your population size and your chosen confidence level and margin of error. For a large population, approximately 384 respondents at 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error is a common reference. We can calculate the right number together.
This approach is convenience sampling and doesn't represent the research's target population. When the people you can reach don't overlap with the study's target audience, findings cannot be generalized. This is also the most frequently questioned point during defense.
Yes. You can transfer your prepared questions to Sorbunu and direct them to the verified panel. If you need support with question and scale design, our guides can help.
Depending on your target audience and sample size, data is collected within days for most studies. If you share your submission timeline upfront, we'll build the plan accordingly.

No. Respondents' identity information stays within the panel — you only receive aggregated and anonymized results. This is a GDPR-compliant and ethical data collection method.
