Master Thesis in Environmental Technology (MLJMAS)

The master's thesis is an independent project in which you will apply the knowledge acquired during your studies on solving a chosen assignment. It is through this assignment that you will show your abilities and qualities as a coming engineer. The assignment will normally be carried out during the last semester of your studies. At this stage you will have acquired the knowledge and know-how needed for accomplishing a relevant assignment in your studies.

Method of work

Independent work with literature. Individual supervision in practical work and in writing reports. It is important both to the student and the advisor that a good cooperation routine is established during the execution of the project. This may e.g. take the form of regular meetings in which the student will present and discuss his/her work as it develops. Preferably the student should have written something that can form the basis of the conversation/discussion with the advisor. It is an advantage to start writing the thesis as early as possible .
