Course contents
The thesis work should be about an interesting problem within the area of electromagnetic theory. Examples of thesis works subjects can be found at the home page of the department. The student can also make her/his own suggestions, which will have to be approved by the tutor. For the thesis work subject to be approved, interesting problems within the research area must be defined. The focus of the work should be on investigation and analysis of the problem. The extent of the work should be such that it is clear that the student has performed at least five months worth of full-time work.
As an important part of the thesis work will be considered a careful specification and schedule for the task, and a search and study of relevant literature. The thesis work will be presented in both a written and an oral report.
Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to develop the student’s ability to independently carry out and report a project work within the area of electromagnetic theory.
After the course, the student is expected to be able to
- formulate a scientific research idea associated with scientific theories and/or earlier research within the area.
- make appropriate choices of scientific method, motivate them, and use the chosen methods in a systematic and competent way.
- formulate relevant ad well-founded conclusions with reference to earlier research.
- present the work in both written and oral form, in a form consistent with the practice of the scientific community.

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.
Other requirements for final grade
The examiner determines the grading together with the tutor. The grade is determined by a weighting of several criteria, the time for completion of the work being one of them.
In some of the programs the student may be obliged to take part in the opposition of another students thesis work.
