The master's thesis demands independence, a well developed critical sense, and is a first taste of methodical, academic training.
Learning outcome
The student will complete a master's thesis within the discipline.
Knowledge: The student will be able to use scientific methods in the implementation of a independent work within the discipline.
Skills: The student will be able to complete a project and write a master's thesis in accordance with established standards and by use of relevant digital tools.
General competence: Documented scientific qualifications through completion of a master's thesis within the discipline.
Learning methods and activities
All students doing their master's thesis at the department 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.
Further on evaluation

Applications for an extended deadline must be submitted to the Faculty of Engineering. Students who fail the master's thesis, can submit a new or revised thesis once. It is not possible to improve an awarded grade by submitting a new thesis. The deadline for the assessment of the master's thesis is 3 months.
The adjusting oral exam consists of:
- A lecture of ca. 30 minutes, about the thesis presented in a public forum.
- An oral examination on the thesis of ca 30 minutes.
The adjusting oral exam (lecture and oral examination) will adjust the marking already put on the thesis, and lead to the final grade.
