The standard contact period with the supervisor(s) is 25 hours, which is the standard for a masters thesis of 30 credits.

Mer om vurdering

The deadline for submission of the thesis is 15th of May, unless otherwise agreed with the Department.

It is mandatory for all to have conducted a risk assessment of the master thesis project prior to starting your thesis. The risk assessment is conducted with help from your supervisor and submitted in Blackboard.

The oral defense of the thesis project consists of a presentation and a discussion/examination. Permitted examination aids are to be determined in cooperation with your supervisor.

National regulations have been established for evaluation of Master’s theses within the STEM fields: more info can be found on the page Description of grades for master thesis.

Normal rules apply for appealing the grade. A new oral defense is only arranged if the new examiners disagree with the grade given in the original evaluation.
