The Master’s thesis management will change in August 2024 with the introduction of a new thesis functionality in portal. When starting a master’s thesis, students will enter the basic information of the thesis, such as the topic, supervisor and advisors, in and apply for the approval of the supervisor on the platform. The supervisor approves the topic and advisors. In the field of technology (the schools of CHEM, ENG, ELEC and SCI), the topic, supervisor and advisors are no longer approved by the degree programme committees. Students can start a thesis process and apply for the necessary approvals continuously considering the instructions of the degree programme on starting and timing of the thesis. 

The final thesis is submitted to for evaluation, approval and archiving.
