ThesisMaster's Programme in Finance, 120 Credits
Students finishing the program after one year are required to undertake a 15 hp/ECTS thesis in the spring, their second semester, before they graduate. Students studying for two years can choose whether they want to do two 15 hp/ECTS thesis courses, one in the second semester and one in the fourth semester, or only one large 30 hp/ECTS thesis course during the fourth semester.
Two students will write a thesis together and under the guidance of a supervisor. In order to pass the Master's thesis the students must not only write and defend their thesis but they must also be the main opponent of another students thesis. They also have to do two side oppositions.
It is strongly recommended that international students takes a research method course in order to manage to write a good thesis. For example "Research Method and Academic writing" can be a good alternative for international students.
