Prior to having any "real world" experience on there I'd say yes: bung it on. Once you've clocked up some actual solid work experience I'd remove it though.

I removed mine as soon as I'd gotten my first post-university job. The thesis part of my CV was only a single paragraph, if I recall correctly, so it was mostly a bit of filler.

If I also remember correctly my CV was shit at that time. I've gotten so much better at writing them as time has gone by.
