Monographs shall have a scope of approx. 15,000 words (+/- 20%). If the article manuscript format is chosen, the supplementary memo/introduction ('kappe') shall have a scope of approx. 3,000 words (+/- 20%). If another format is chosen, the supplementary memo/introduction ('kappe') shall have a scope of approx. 9,000 words (+/- 20%). The same requirements apply to the scope of an individual master's thesis and a master's thesis written by groups of students.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Grade scale A-F.

For a thesis written by a group, all the students in the group are awarded the same grade.

The students are awarded a preliminary grade for the written master's thesis. Only students who have been awarded a pass grade (A-E) for the written master's thesis are permitted to take the oral exam. The final grade is set following an individual oral exam. The whole grade scale can be used when adjusting the preliminary grade.

The following applies when the grade F is awarded:

• Written thesis: If the master's thesis is written by a group, the whole group will be awarded this grade. The students will not be permitted to take the oral exam. The students are given one opportunity to submit a new or reworked version of the master's thesis for grading.
• Oral exam: If the grade F is awarded following the oral exam, F will be the student's final grade. In such cases, the student will have to retake the exam. The written thesis will be re-assessed in connection with the resit exam.

Appealing against grades

The grade for the written thesis can be appealed. If the grade is changed as a result of re-grading, the student must also take the oral exam again.

All master's theses are assessed by two examiners, one of whom must be external.
