  • Teaching and learning methods

    The assignment of bachelor’s theses is based on the guidelines applicable to the faculty and the study programme. The thesis is preferably written in cooperation with a business or research community. A supervisor from the study programme will be appointed. For projects carried out in cooperation with an enterprise or public agency, an external supervisor will also be appointed.

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

    • two lectures (start-up and report writing)
    • preliminary project
    • one meeting with the course coordinator
    • one oral presentation

    Students may be required to write the thesis in English.

  • Assessment

    The assessment of the group bachelor’s thesis (4 students) will be based on the execution of the project, the report, the poster and the oral presentation.

    • The execution, oral presentation with demo video and poster in English count 40% and are assessed on the basis of the project’s degree of difficulty, the students’ planning and progress, initiative, assessment ability and independence, and the supervisor/client’s benefit from the project.
    • The report counts 60% and is assessed on the basis of the students’ understanding of the issue at hand, the thoroughness of the documentation, the discussion, critical assessment, clear presentation, systematic structure, literary references and degree of independence in the writing process.

    Only the grade given for the report can be appealed. The grade given for the execution and oral presentation cannot be appealed.

    All parts of the exam must be awarded grade E or better for the student to pass the course.

  • Grading scale

    Grade scale A-F.
