Master thesis
 | You perform your thesis work during the fourth semester while enrolled at your host university. The master thesis will be jointly supervised by supervisors from both your host and your home university. In most cases you will be physically located at the host university during the entire thesis work, but if you and your supervisors agree you can choose to do part of the thesis work at your home university. A third party such as a public or private research organisation, or an industry partner may also be involved in the thesis work. The thesis work has an extent of 30 ECTS. |
