Before you start your degree project

A degree project is something you undertake at the end of your studies to achieve your degree. You need to apply for the course during the preceding semester. Find out how it works prior to writing your degree project.


Apply for the course

You must apply for the degree project course on antagning.se or universityadmissions.se. The application deadline is in the semester before you will be doing your degree project.

Find a supervisor in advance

You need to find a suitable supervisor for your degree project at a university or a company. We recommend that you start looking for a supervisor 4–6 months before the course starts.

More information about doing a degree project

More detailed information about degree projects is available on a Canvas page. You can get access to the Canvas page before the course starts to get important information early, for instance on how to find a project and a supervisor. Contact your study counsellor to get access to the Canvas page.
