Thesis title

The thesis is comparable to a final exam that every student must pass in order to graduate with a master’s degree. In all probability it will be the most extensive research report that you will write during your graduate studies, and in general you will be given a great amount of freedom to choose a topic and formulate a specific research question. In that sense the thesis is truly the culmination of your entire master’s education: with it you demonstrate your ability to formulate research questions, conduct independent research, and present your results in written form according to the highest academic standards. You are of course not alone in this process; one or more thesis advisors will be there to help guide your research and offer constructive feedback. However, the final responsibility for formulating a central research question, finding and processing relevant literature and source material, and applying concepts and methodologies that you have learned during your academic education, lies with the student.
