Only those students who are enrolled in the master's degree programme in Logistics can write a thesis. In addition, each candidate must have an approved proposal that has been prepared in one of the seminars of LOG904. LOG950 must be the last course taken within the master's program.
The master's thesis is an independent work done by a single student or two students together and supervised by a faculty advisor. It is the duty of each student to obtain a supervisor at the latest in the start of Semester 3.
Submission of the written thesis and an oral thesis defense are required. The final grade is a combination of grades received on the thesis and the oral presentation. Only one final grade will be presented to the student.
A thesis is an independent, extensive work that is done under the guidance of an advisor/professor in the discipline. Not more than two students can work on the same thesis.
The most important objective is to give training in independent project work that has a strong professional basis. Students should employ methods and knowledge that has been learned in their courses, and show that they can use these in the explanation and solution of problems in logistics.
Candidates are relatively free to choose topics. A thesis can be either applied, related to a company or an agency/governmental body, or it can be a theoretical investigation.
