Content

The master's thesis aims to have students conduct and report (both written and oral) a scientific research project. The student works independently (individually or in group) but under the supervision of a supervisor.

The following general rules apply with regard to the subject of the master's thesis:

  • The topic is consistent with the field of study of the programme and the chosen subdomain (major/specialization), if applicable.
  • The research assignment should be in line with the research or areas of specialisation of the supervisor (who supervises the approach and completion of the work).
  • In developing their research, students have the opportunity to collaborate with the field (but this is not guaranteed for every topic or with every supervisor).
