2nd year

In the third and fourth semester you will have the opportunity to specialise in a relevant area of your choice. 

In the third semester you develop your thesis proposal and conduct a research-oriented project, which opens up for an individual specialisation.

Master's thesis

The fourth semester is devoted to writing your master's thesis, with a duration of 20 weeks.

The master’s thesis is the final examination where you show that you are able to use the knowledge and skills that you have acquired through your studies to complete an independent research or development work. 

The final evaluation includes an oral examination in addition to assessment of the thesis.
