Learning methods and activities
Oral presentation of the master thesis. The oral presentation must be completed before, or at latest at the same time as the master thesis is submitted. All students doing their master's thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, should conclude an agreement regarding counselling. The standard contact period with the supervisor(s) is 25 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.
