Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian/English
Under supervision, the students will conduct an independent research or development project, or a literaturestudy. Students can choose to write the master’s thesis individually or in pairs. On application, large, interdisciplinary innovation projects can be written in groups of up to four students. Students can also apply to write the master’s thesis with students from other specialisations if they so wish, provided that the scope of the master’s thesis is the same. If more than one student work on the master’s thesis together, each student’s contributions must be documented. The thesis can be written as a monograph or as a scientific article on a specialised topic.
Development of the project description in preparation for the master’s thesis is part of the course MAVIT4070 Research Design and Project Description, 10 ECTS credits.

Required preliminary courses
Eksamenen består av to deleksamener. Den første eksamensdelen er praktisk i form av en konsert, mens den andre delen er en skriftlig eksamen. Eksamensdelene vurderes hver for seg med separate karakterer.
- Deleksamen 1: Praktisk eksamen i gruppe på ca. 20 minutter der vokale og instrumentale ferdigheter på ulike klasseroms- og bandinstrumenter vurderes. Individuell vurdering.
- Deleksamen 2: Individuell skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn i musikkorientering 1 (populærmusikk og vestens musikkhistorie) med et omfang på 2 timer.
Ved gyldig fravær eller ikke bestått resultat, må kun den aktuelle eksamensdelen tas opp igjen. Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen. Av praktiske grunner kan deleksamen 1 gjennomføres individuelt ved ny/utsatt eksamen.
