Learning methods and activities
Oral presentation of the master's thesis after submission of the thesis. All students doing their master's thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, should conclude an agreement regarding counselling. 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. At the beginning of the 4th semester, there will be a seminar where the students give a compulsory oral presentation of their thesis work.
