The master's thesis is written together with a fellow student (2 students together), or alone. Supervision is given for one semester; the spring semester when the master's thesis work is completed. It is mandatory to attend seminars on campus during the spring semester. If professional and supervisory considerations so require, the master's thesis should be written in English. Alternatively, it can be written in Norwegian.

The submission deadline is normally in May. Date is stated by 1 October. If there are special reasons (eg illness), students can apply for a postponement until 31 August of the same year, but no supervision is will be given beyond the original submission deadline.
The course is only available to students who are admitted to the Master in Accounting and Auditing programme at NTNU Business School.
