Master's Thesis (30 cr)

Learning outcomes

- To gather systematically knowledge related to the chosen field of specialty, combine different sets of data and analyze information.
- To carry out and document independently a study using scientific methods.
- To demonstrate professional skills in the field of the student's major subject.
- To demonstrate maturity required for a university degree.

Additional information

By carrying out an independent scientific assignment, the student gains ability to understand and apply scientific and professional concepts of the major. Through the thesis the student demonstrates his or her ability to analyze bigger entities, use relevant information sources, aquire appropriate data, process information, make conclusions, and write a research report. In connection with the thesis, student writes a maturity test, which is an essay written on a topic related to the thesis. The maturity test proves the student's command of the thesis topic.
