The thesis is a 30 ECTS project, which must conclude your MSc programme. It is an independent project, which should show that you are able to work with a topic of your own choosing at a high academic level. The thesis is concluded with an oral defense.
When can you start your thesis?
Normally, you write your thesis in your 4th semester, as you can see in the study programme.
In certain cases - e.g. if you have not been able to pass 30 ECTS each semester - you might have to consider writing the project in another semester. However, as a minimum you need to have passed 60 ECTS when writing your thesis.
