Objective

As a rule, students write their final thesis during their fourth year of studies. Students should choose their thesis topic as early as possible, during their internship completed in the autumn of their fourth year of studies at the latest.

Students do their thesis as an independent project in design, development, or as a survey. The thesis may also be a part of a more extensive research or development project. The purpose of the thesis is to give students an opportunity to show their competence in independently utilising theoretical information to solve a practical problem.

With few exceptions, students usually do their thesis for an enterprise. This gives students an excellent opportunity to pave their way into the working world and the services of the enterprise for which they have written their thesis.
