About the course
Course content
Research project of 30 ECTS under supervision, within nanotechnology.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
The student should obtain in depth knowledge within the subject area of the master's thesis.
Skills:
The student is trained in systematic acquisition of information. The student is trained in planning and implementing a comprehensive research project using scientific methods. The student learns to write a comprehensive scientific report.
General competence:
The student is trained in communicating professional matters.
Learning methods and activities
All students doing their master's thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, should conclude an agreement regarding counselling. The standard contact period with the supervisor/s is 25 hours. 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.
Compulsory assignments
- Oral presentation of the master's thesis during the project period
Further on evaluation
The master's thesis is to be submitted in NTNU's examination system. Information about the submission process can be found at Submitting bachelor and master thesis - for students
The submission deadline for the master's thesis is 20 weeks from the start-up date + 1 week for Easter or Christmas if this falls within in the period. Students writing their master’s thesis abroad are granted an extra 6 weeks so that the total time frame of the thesis work is 26 weeks. You must apply for an extension of the deadline if you are delayed in your work and unable to meet the deadline.
The deadline for the assessment of the master's thesis is 3 months. Grade descriptions for master's theses can be found on this page: https://i.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/English/Description+of+grades+for+master+thesis
If you fail your master’s thesis you can submit a new or revised thesis once. Students who wish to do so must notify the faculty within three months of the final grading decision (including the outcome of any appeal). If you have received a passing grade, you may not improve that grade by voluntarily retaking the course or examination.
National regulations have been established for evaluation of Master’s theses within the STEM fields: more info can be found on the page Description of grades for master thesis. Additional information may be available on the websites of the relevant faculty and department.
