SK202X Degree Project in Applied Physics, Second Cycle 30.0 credits

The degree project consists of an individual assignment with a topic that is decided by examiner. It should normally constitute a specialisation within the chosen field of technology and be at the level of second-cycle studies. The degree project should correspond to 20 weeks of full-time studies. The work will be presented in a written report and an oral presentation at an open seminar.

In order for special eligibility for a degree project course of 30 credits at the advanced level to be fulfilled all courses in grades 1-3, or courses required for issuance of bachelor's degree and at least 60 credits of advanced level courses must be completed. The courses on advanced level must include courses in the program that are relevant to the degree project (can specified) as well as a course in theory of science and research methodology.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• XUP1 - Examination Question, 30.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The degree project is carried out individually or together with another student. In the latter case, the examiner must ensure that each student's work effort corresponds to the requirements for individual degree project. The degree project is presented in writing and orally in English or Swedish. Depending on the student's educational program, opposition and participation in opposition to other degree projects may be required for a completed course.

The degree project will be assessed after the fulfillment of the course objectives, see above. The grade is set by the examiner as an overall assessment after the degree project report has been plagiarized. For approved degree project, the performance must not be failed according to any of the assessment criteria.

Students who do not finish their work within a year, risk failing the course. Decisions are made, where applicable, in consultation between the examiner and the program manager.
