Only those students who are enrolled in the MSc program in Logistics can write a thesis under the LOG950 course code. In addition, each candidate must have an approved proposal that has been prepared as part of LOG904. LOG950 must be the last course taken within the MSc 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.
After completing the thesis the student will be able to
-
work independently in projects work with a strong professional basis,
-
combine methods and knowledge from courses and other sources within the logistics profession, and
- analyse and solve complex logistic problems based on scientific methods.
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. 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.
