• within given specifications, analyse and discuss issues in this area as well as solve more complex problems on a basic level,
• reflect upon and critically assess scientific results, 
• document and report the work orally as well as in writing, with strict requirements on structure, format, and language usage,

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

• XUPP - Examination Question, 15.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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 thesis should be presented at a seminar at KTH. The written report should be registered at the school. The format as well as the language usage in the report is very important. The report may be in Swedish or in English. Abstract should be in both languages. The reports will be checked for plagiarism.

The examination is based on the three criteria - process, contents, and presentation - defined by KTH, and presented in the course description (Process, engineering-related and scientific content, and presentation).

To pass the thesis work, you cannot get a failing grade on any of the three criteria.
