The Master’s thesis can be seen as the final course of the Master’s programme. Supervised by a senior faculty member from the programme, you conduct an individual research project on a specific topic within your specialization. The research results in a thesis (a research report or article) and a colloquium. It is possible (but not required) to conduct the research project within or for an external organization (for instance a company, communication agency, or a governmental organization). You will be responsible for finding an organization and agreeing the research topic yourself, but you also need approval from the university. It possible to combine the graduation project with an internship (201800099) within the same organization. At the start of the graduation process, you can receive support or advice from our graduation coordinator.
