The individual master’s final project is the completion of the chemical-part of the SEC Chemistry master's programme. The main objective of the assignment is that the student learns and proves that (s)he is able to define, perform, complete and reflect a research project at a large degree of independence. The assignment is performed in one of the Chemical Engineering research groups of the faculty of Science and Technology of the UT under the supervision of a mentor and the responsibility of a Master's Assignment Committee.
The student has to perform a substantial research or design project that meets scientific criteria. The level of profundity and complexity is defined by the chairman of the Master's Assignment Committee. The student completes the assignment with a written report (the MSc.-thesis) and an oral public presentation.
The master’s final project will be assessed with a mark covering the quality of the research performance, the reporting, the presentation and general aspects of the research. The following learning objectives represent the last three aspects:
