The master thesis can be written individually or in a group. Permitted group size: 2-4 students.
The student(s) can choose whether the assessment should be based on solely the written product or on both the written product and the oral exam. The character limits of the master thesis are: for 1 student: 40,800-192,000 characters, including spaces. For 2 students: 40,800-192,000 characters, including spaces. For 3 students: 40,800-204,000 characters, including spaces. For 4 students: 40,800-204,000 characters, including spaces. The character limits include the cover, table of contents, summary, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. The master thesis must include a summary. The summary can either be written in English or Danish. The summary is included in the overall assessment with a weighting of 5 percent. Before submitting a master thesis written by a group, that have chosen an assessment solely based on the written product, each member of the group must clearly indicate which part(s) of the thesis they are responsible for. All group members are responsible for the introduction, conclusion and summary. The oral exam is individual for students that have written the thesis alone, or students that have requested an individual exam. All other oral master thesis exams are conducted as group exams. The oral exam, if relevant, will be based on the master thesis. The students begin the exam with a short presentation followed by a dialogue between the student, examiner and external examiner.
