Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

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. 

Intended learning outcomes

The student should:

- Be able to apply relevant knowledge and skills, within the main field of study, to a given problem.

- Within given constraints, even with limited information, independently be able to analyse and discuss complex inquiries/problems and to handle larger problems on an advanced level within the main field of study.

- Reflect on, evaluate and critically review their own and others’ scientific results.

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

- Be able to identify one’s need for further knowledge and continuously develop their competence.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

The main portion of studies must generally be completed before the degree project work can be started.

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.
