Thesis
As part of your MSc you will complete a thesis of 30, 45 or 60 ECTS, depending the choices available within the MSc programmes at your institution of choice:

The thesis work will be based on a research topic, which you identify in collaboration with a relevant supervisor. You may have a co-supervisor from one of the collaborating universities, if you wish to carry out a study related to both your home and a 'guest' institution. A third party, such as a public or private research organisation or company, may also be involved in the thesis work.

The process of selecting the right subject for your thesis will start already during the 'Introductory' course, where you will be 'tuned in' to possible research topics, which are closely linked up to ongoing research activities at the involved institutions.
