- Be able to document and present their own work with strict requirements on structure, format and language usage.

Course main content

The Masters thesis should be a part of a deeper study within the program area and be on an advanced level in order to fulfill the demand for a Masters degree in technology. This means that the thesis normally should be carried out within the area that the student has been prepared for. If the student wants to carry out the thesis within a different area this should be approved by the person responsible for the undergraduate education. 

Eligibility

The main portion of studies must generally be completed before the degree project work can be started. At least 60 higher education credits must be completed where 30 higher education credits with specialization in the second level within the main field of the study. It is the duty of the examiner to see that the student has the specialization corresponding to that described above. Exceptions can be made by the person responsible for undergraduate education at the school. The degree project work must normally be carried out during the last term of the programme.
