6 The master thesis project One of several courses Different subject matters – track-dependent, or not credits – nominally 5 months fulltime You can start anytime, but... You need to register There is an examiner Grades A-F Check: Conditions for registration = starting the project Find a project Get/write a brief project plan (1-3 pages) Contact an examiner (before making any formal commitments!) - an integrated part of your master program

7 In order to begin the thesis! Students studying in an engineering program at SCI: civil.ing. program requirements: -At least 240 credits completed -Max 2 unfinished compulsory courses from Years 1-3 Students studying in an engineering program at another school at KTH - check with your student counselor at your civil.ing.program International students, the requirement is 60 credits The master program requirements check with your Head of Master Master thesis 30 credits - Meet the requirements

8 The Project A project task that you need to find that you need to plan, execute and present (both written thesis and oral presentation/"defense") that is technically supervised where it is performed that you need to settle, with the client/employer and with the examiner An opportunity to learn, deepen skills and gain experience to specialise to get acquainted with a company or a field to do academic research to travel to get employed (!)

9 Finding & choosing a project In which area (subject matter)? –Should (typically) be a part of your track or the master core. Where? –At a company –At an institute, agency or authority –At KTH –Mixed Sometimes a company asks KTH to run a project on commission –Abroad In industry or in academia Even more important to assure that everybody involved agree

10 You –Find the project & do the work Supervisor –Acts as your daily help, coach and support –Should be technically skilled !!! –Academic and in industry Examiner : –Can be almost any teacher in the subject. (You choose who to ask.) –Accepts the project plan as thesis project (by signing your course reg.) –Accept the report and presentation at the end. –Grade the work. –Can act as extra support if needed… Student Administration Office –Checks that you meet the requirements to register. –Makes the formal registration A peer: –Thesis projects can be done in pairs if the work is clearly divided.
