Course content

A project description describing the scope and focus area of the thesis project, should be prepared in collaboration with the supervisor.

Learning methods and activities

Before beginning with the master project work, the student must take part in the compulsory HSE training at the faculty (HMS0003).

All students doing their master's thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, should conclude an agreement regarding counselling. The master agreement, with attached project description and risk assessment, should be handed in by the 20th of January the first year of your Masters, unless otherwise agreed with the Department.

The standard contact period with the supervisor(s) is 50 hours, which is the standard for a masters thesis of 60 credits. Any contact between supervisor/s and student beyond this, depends on the supervisor(s) choice of supervision methodology. It is expected that the student works independently beyond the standard contact period.

Further on evaluation

The deadline for submission of the thesis is 15th of May, unless otherwise agreed with the Department.

The oral defense of the thesis project consists of a presentation and a discussion/examination. Permitted examination aids are to be determined in cooperation with your supervisor.

National regulations have been established for evaluation of Master’s theses within the STEM fields: more info found here.

Normal rules apply for appealing the grade. A new oral defense is only arranged if the new examiners disagree with the grade given in the original evaluation.
