General information

MSc students must register a topic online in the semester when they take up the subject Thesis Consultation I. as they need an internal advisor to meet the requirements of this subject. The subject is in the third semester of the curriculum, because writing the thesis at master level is a two-semester project. 

Bachelor students must register a topic online when they take up the subject Thesis Consultation (Bachelor Programme) as they need an internal advisor to meet the requirements of this subject.

Thesis submitted and evaluated for any other mark than fail cannot be re-written for three years starting from the hand in date. After three years a new thesis must be prepared and registration should take place.

Choosing the topic

Students must choose topics relating to their study programme and their field. Choosing the topic is done online from topics previously published.

Students are obliged to contact their internal advisor (after the period for choosing a topic has ended).
