FYB3900 Bachelor’s Thesis Course description

None.

Pass/Fail

One or several internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The bachelor’s theses are normally written in groups of 2-3 students. If the project’s topic is interprofessional, the project group can also include a student from another bachelor’s programme, subject to the approval of the person responsible for the course at both programmes.

The work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, supervision and self-study in the project group. At the start, project sketching seminars are arranged, including a half-day seminar with presentation of the project sketch and feedback on fellow students' project sketching. Halfway into the project, students meet to present the preliminary project status and provide input to fellow students for use in the completion of the projects.

Students are assigned a supervisor after submitting a project outline. The supervision is based on written project material and specific questions submitted by the student group ahead of the supervision session. Each group receives two (2) hours of supervision on the project outline during the seminars, and three (3) hours of individual project supervision.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• participation in seminar in connection with presentation of the project outline (half a day)
• project outline, subject to more detailed criteria. The project outline will be subject to assessment and must be approved before the work on the project begins
• a presentation at the midway seminar of project status and, if relevant, a risk assessment of personal data processing
