Master's theses at the Faculty of Science
Every master's student is confronted with it: the master's thesis. Also as a supervisor or mentor it is not always simple to know what is expected of you.
On this website you can find information on some aspects related to the master's thesis and the facultary vision. These and other elements are discussed in the facultary concept note on the master's thesis (approved by the Facultary Council on 25/10/2010). The concept note is based on the existing educational concept of the Faculty, enriched by conclusions from discussions within the Working Group Master’s Thesis during academic year 2009-2010. Additionally, parts of the Faculty Regulations are added to the concept note.
