The Master’s thesis is a demanding development project or research work combining theory, praxis and creation of new knowledge. The thesis subject and aim are based on requirements and needs of working life.
The student is able to:
- combine theoretical framework and pragmatic work with the contextual needs in a development or research project
- network and communicate professionally with relevant organisations and communities
- evaluate critically sources and methods, select the suitable ones and use them systematically and ethically
- document, report and give a presentation of the project or research status and the final results
The Master’s thesis process consists of three stages. At the first stage of the thesis objective is discussed with the supervisor, and the research project is identified and defined. The thesis project is presented at the starting seminar. After this first seminar the student updates the research plan and it will be evaluated as approved or failed.
