Learning outcomes

As pointed out in the Logistics courses the goal is to reach beyond facts and descriptions and to reach conclusions based on synthesis and analysis.

Course main content

The Master thesis includes at least information search, literature analysis, theoretical description and methodology as well as analysis of the results.

The time required is based on 20-study weeks full time.

The student describes suggestions for thesis work, by industry or by a teacher. The suggestion includes a background and a short description (about one A4-page).

Together with the teacher the student makes a project plan and a preliminary aim and nature of the work. After the teacher accepts this plan the student is registered.

The thesis work will result in a report based on a scientific work process. The manuscript is presented at a seminar. The examiner decides if corrections are necessary and after these are made no further seminar is necessary.

Eligibility

In general the rule is that the main part of the studies, at least 60 credits should be ready before the thesis work is allowed to start including the course AH2102 Logistics and Transportation or equivalent. The examiner must make sure that the student has focused in the relevant area and that the main part of the program is ready before the thesis work starts. Exceptions can be made by the person responsible for basic education. The master’s thesis should normally be written during the last term of the program.
