Information and guidelines for degree projects (Master thesis projects) at the department. The degree project course constitutes the independent thesis work that is required for a Swedish university degree. The degree project is the practical evidence that the student successfully can conduct an independent and scientific study. The thesis should show that the student grasps the scientific question, can follow the discussion in the scientific literature, can use relevant methods, and can discuss the results of the study and put them in a scientific framework. The thesis is presented at a seminar.
