Course Disposition

The degree project should include problem approaches which give deeper/wider studies of the technical area. The work is often at a workplace outside KTH. The student is supervised during the degree project by a tutor from KTH as well as from the company. The degree project is accomplished individually or together with another student. The project should be accounted for both in written and oral form in English or Swedish.

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 will be marked by these criteria:

• Process
• Engineering and scientific contents
• Presentation

For a passed degree project the student must not fail in anyone of three criteria above.

The mark is decided by the examiner as an overall evaluation after the report has been scrutinized for plagiarism.

Moreover look at the instructions for degree project at ITM/TMT.
