thèse Disclaimer: Some information in this course work are obtained from online documents as well as that of colleagues and are not solely my personal data. COURSE FINDING A RESEARCH AREA OF INTEREST We expect that students after some years of studies can define at least an area of interest for the thesis project, if not already a more specified subject. The exact subject is determined in consultation with a teacher/supervisor. Generally, you will be more motivated to perform the project if you define the subject yourself. Try first to define broadly your research interests, before consulting course coordinators and teachers. Typical thesis subjects at the department are related to the actual ongoing research, so check the homepages on the department research. Other possibilities for subjects can be found at other departments and outside of the university. Many municipalities and companies have a link on their homepage with suggestions to thesis projects, or you can contact them and discuss possibilities. External projects are beneficial in many ways, but remember that the research question must have academic relevance . Just doing a practical work task for an external organization is not sufficient at the Master‘s level. Therefore, discuss carefully the actual research question with potential supervisors at the department. It is recommended to start this process in good time before the start of the course, to avoid losing too much time of the project. At least use the semester before the master thesis work for finding a subject. You are welcome to contact the course coordinator to discuss options and ideas before contacting other teachers to discuss the options with them. Moreover during any subject course you can discuss possibilities with the teachers. At this stage, make clear that you want to discuss ideas without requestin g that the teacher will act as supervisor. The definitive allocation of supervisors is done by the course coordinator at the moment that you start your thesis work.

Working together with another student As the thesis project is the final project of your master studies, you should perform the project independently, producing a report solely by yourself. It is required that even if you work together on a common project, you need to define two sub-projects for each of the students, resulting in two reports. An alternative (however so far never tried) is that you each write one paper (shorter report), and put the two papers together into a compilation thesis with a common summary and synthesis section. Your supervisor, what to expect In many cases you will have a supervisor allocated already before the start of the course. In general it is the teacher with whom you came to agreement with on a more detailed idea/project plan for your thesis work. The supervisor will help you to get started and keeping you on track. However, you do the work and write the report. It is recommended to agree already at the start of the project on a number of meetings, where you discuss the progress of your work and possibly needed adaptations and The supervisor should indicate ‗green light‘ befor e you can submit the thesis for examination and present your work in the master defense seminar. However, if the supervisor considers the work insufficient, yet has already put a lot of effort to raise your work to the required level, then you can be allowed to present your work for the exam committee. In those cases the supervisor indicates that he/she does not approve the work, but leaves the grading decision to the exam committee. Project plan Your first task will be the formulation of a project plan. This plan of max two A4 pages of text (+ references and possible figures/tables) should give a summary of your project. The plan must contain a working title and names of those who are involved inthe project. Further you should formulate a main question and a number of hypothese sor or sub-questions, as needed. Focus on the research questions, available data and methodology in the summary. Take care that you describe the available data in detail, and how to use the data in relation to the research question .
