Course content
The master thesis topic is normally offered within the research areas of the department, but the candidates can also choose their own topic. By agreement with the department the thesis work can be performed at a different faculty or at a different institution/company.If the faculty in special cases is to deviate from the requirement that all courses in the education plan should be passed before evaluation of the thesis, the following has to be considered:- The extent of remaining courses.- If the remaining courses are essential for completing the thesis.For more information see the supplementary regulations for programmes in the natural sciences at NTNU.
Learning outcome
The student should learn in-depth inquiry in a specific theme within their chosen field, through scientific methods of work, i.e. collecting complementary knowledge through literature studies and other sources, to combine this with their own knowledge. The student should further complete a larger independent work, including to make a project plan with milestones, report interim results and write a master thesis according to acknowledged standards.
Learning methods and activities
All students doing their master's thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences have to write a master agreement with their supervisor anhd department. This is done via the electronic form in Sharepoint. The standard contact period with the supervisor/-s is 50 hours. Any contact between supervisor/-s and student beyond this, depends on the supervisor/-s choice of supervision methodology. It is expected that the student works independently beyond the standard contact period.
