ASSESSMENT
The Master’s thesis is usually written in monograph format. The thesis can be submitted individually or as a joint project for two students. If the thesis is submitted as a joint project, a document describing the individual candidate’s contribution must be attached. When the Master’s thesis is submitted as a joint project, a common grade is typically given for the thesis. In rare cases, however, it may be necessary to assess the candidates separately. When co-writing, the master’s thesis is expected to be about 50% longer than with individual work. The master’s thesis is assessed by one internal and one external examiner. New and postponed exams are conducted in accordance with current NTNU study regulations.
