Course content
The student will acquire insight in a proper text- and writing comprehension, information processing, collection of empirical data, as well as an assessment of research and methods into an academically relevant topic. In the work on the thesis, the student must work independently and show academic in-depth study and presentation of the chosen topic.
The Bachelor's thesis can be written individually or in pairs. If written in pair, it must be possible to identify the individual candidate's contributions from each other throughout the thesis, and the candidates must undergo individual oral examinations. Each candidate receives an individual grade.
The Bachelor's thesis in Drama and Theater can be based on practice. This can be the students' own practice through the study or in an external environment. It may also be other professionally relevant practice, within performing arts, drama and theatre pedagogy or other applied theatre practice.
