Master thesis
Independent piece of academic work• Review of literature and own problem analysis,
nearly always involving some own empirical analysis.
• Ideal path:• Finished research proposal and allocated supervisor by mid-
March• Finished thesis + defense by end of summer (but 1 December
at the latest)• Possibly with an internship (facilitated by the fact
that there are no courses in 4th block!)
