Course content

Students follow the teaching in one of the elective 2000-level courses in Scandinavian Studies, but take the exam identified by the course title NORD2901 Bachelor's thesis in Scandinavian Studies instead of the regular exam in the elective course. The course contents will depend on which elective course the student chooses to write their Bachelor's thesis in. Students must be as familiar with the curriculum/reading material in the elective course as students who take the regular exam, but are required to develop an independent thesis topic in dialogue with the course teacher.

The Bachelor's thesis replaces the exam in the chosen 2000-level course in Scandinavian Studies.

Learning outcome

Further on evaluation

Assessment: Bachelor's thesis, 1 semester, approx. 5000 words. The Bachelor's thesis replaces the exam in one of the courses at 2000-level in Scandinavian Studies. The Bachelor's thesis must be an independent work, and when assessed it is expected that this work, written over the course of a semester, gives evidence of greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject-discipline than is expected for a home exam or another regular exam in the same subject, which is written over a more limited period of time. Students must write the Bachelor's thesis in connection with an elective 2000-course in Scandinavian Studies taught in the semester in which the student is working on their thesis (the sixth semester).

Students who have received a passing grade on the bachelor’s thesis are not allowed to submit a new thesis in semesters where this course is not taught/no supervision is offered. Students who did not pass the exam, or who did not complete the exam due to illness may submit the exam in a semester where this course is not taught; however, they will not receive any additional supervision. Students who wish to retake the course either because of a failing grade, or to improve their grade, must submit a new thesis on a new topic.

The bachelor’s thesis is written in Norwegian, and students must include a short abstract of the thesis (½-1 page) in either Norwegian or English.
