Course content
The aim of the Master's thesis project is for the student to develop in-depth knowledge in a chosen field of technology, understanding and ability, as well as an approach required to work independently and contribute to knowledge development. During the Master's thesis work, the student is trained in independent technical and scientific research and development work, and thus develops the prerequisites for working in an international research or development environment.
The course consists of three parts: problem definition and project planning; the thesis project; and the opposition on another degree project
The thesis project has two phases:
- To perform the project and document it in writing (in the form of the degree project), and
- To present and defend the thesis verbally
The opposition consist of carefully studying and critically analysing another student's degree project, producing a written opposition and acting as an opponent in the presentation of another student's degree project.
Analysing societal aspects such as sustainability and gender equality are important components of both your thesis work and your student reviewer work.

Course literature
Course evaluation
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
