General Advice

Main steps and assignments

The main steps of the project, according to the course syllabus, are the following:

• The student writes an individual plan for the degree project, in which the problem description/assignment and the preconditions for the implementation of the work are specified. (See Assignment - Individual plan.)
• The student carries out an in-depth pre-study including discussions of method choice and theoretical background with a literature study that is reported as part of a draft to a preliminary version of the written degree project report. (See Assignment - Pre-study.)
• The student independently carries out a degree project, where knowledge and methods from the education are applied. 
• The student writes and presents a written degree project report, where the student clearly accounts for and discusses own conclusions in the degree project and the knowledge and the arguments that underpin them. (See Assignment - Thesis.)
• The student carries out a self-evaluation of the degree project according to established model. (See Assignment - Self-evaluation.)
• The student plans and carries out an oral presentation and defence of his or her degree project. (See Assignment - Final presentation.)
• The student visits the oral presentation of two master degree projects, as active listener (See Assignment - Active listening 1  and Assignment - Active listening 2)
• The student carries out an oral and written review of another second-cycle degree project. (See Assignment - Opposition.)
