Master's thesis in Bioeconomy Management, A2E - Degree of Master of Science in Forestry
Course description
A master thesis is a course where a student conducts an independent study (individually or in a pair), using the skills and knowledge that has been attained in previous courses. The project assumes planning and executing an academic study that is orally presented and you will be taking opponent roles in seminars along the way. We recommend having a solid method background as well as subject related knowledgebefore taking the course and 5 credits of method is required to enter the course. Your master thesis is published online upon agreement. See also https://student.slu.se/en/studies/degree-projects/
As a student, you are responsible for identifying and choosing a suitable task for the independent work. To be accepted to the course, you must have made an agreement with the supervising department regarding the supervisor and topic of the work before the course starts. Therefore, contact the course leader or potential supervisor well in advance about the possibility of doing independent work at a department. The department can provide information about the registration code that applies and other practical information about the implementation, e.g. at which location the work can be carried out.
