DTU MSc final project

Based on the rules for the Master’s thesis:

General

Your thesis should demonstrate that you can apply scientific theories and methodologies to an academic topic. There is also a possibility for an entrepreneurial thesis.

You should explain to me why you are competent enough to carry out the project, e.g., by listing relevant courses you have taken.

Your thesis must have a scope of 30, 32.5 or 35 ECTS, corresponding to 5, 5.5, or 6 months, respectively.

The project can be done in a group of max four students.

Project plan

You must submit a project plan in the first month of the thesis to https://student.dtu.dk. Pay attention that your planned work includes expected work of a Master’s thesis, which I summarized in the content section.

I already expect a project plan — which I call project proposal in this document — when you contact me. You find my general expectations in section Final-project and internship proposal.
