Course contents
The degree project should be a part of a deeper study within the program area and be on an advanced level in order to fulfill the requirements for a Master of Science degree. This means that the degree project normally should be carried out within the area that the student has been prepared for. If the student would like to carry out the degree project within a different area this should be approved by the director of undergraduate education.

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

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