Course Objective

The Master’s thesis should show the student’s advanced ability to formulate relevant research questions, to find and evaluate information and data in an independent and critical way, and to write a scientific thesis within a given period of time. The student must aim at writing a thesis that, at least, can be reworked into a good, publishable paper.

Course Content

The student selects a research topic and contacts a preferred thesis supervisor. An attempt will be made to assign the preferred supervisor. A thesis contract and research plan are drawn and signed. The student hands in drafts of chapters of the thesis, on a regular basis. The supervisor provides comments on each draft, and clarifies them in a meeting. All corrected drafts are kept until the thesis is completed. The thesis may be based on a reserach project that is carried out during an internship.
