Information for Bachelor Thesis
Your studies will be completed with a Bachelor thesis. The thesis module’s 15 CP comprise an accompanying research colloquium of two semester periods per week (study record) and a written, academic thesis of approx. 30 pages (examination). Please see here for general information on academic writing.
Colloquium
All students who are writing their Bachelor thesis in the same semester in the same specialisation field are required to attend a colloquium. The colloquium focuses on the critical discussion of specific objects of study and research. In general, a broad range of contents from the chosen specialisation field will be revised and extended. The course is structured as to give students the opportunity to present the contents and structure of their thesis in the making as well as preliminary results and have them discussed by fellow students and the supervising instructors. The students develop a deeper understanding of the contents of one specific field, gain insight into the projects and experiences of their fellow students, and will be able to put their knowledge of academic work processes and scientific discussion to practice.
