Economics - Master's Thesis (one year)

 15.0 ECTS credits
The course comprises two sections. In section one, the students carry out a scientific research project with the guidance of an appointed supervisor. In the second section, there will be a series of seminars in which the students will defend their own reports, act as opponent to another student's report, and take active part in the discussions of the reports written by other students.
Supervision is only offered to students while the course is in progress. Students who fail to complete the project satisfactorily during this time may re-register at the next course opportunity. They will then be offered additional supervision to the extent made possible by available resources.
The course literature is decided upon in consultation with the supervisor.
