SCI Master's Thesis
Welcome to the School of Science Master's Thesis infopages!
You can submit your thesis for evaluation at the same time when submitting the request for degree certificate. The date of approval of the thesis will be the deadline for submitting the applications, although the approval of the thesis will not be processed by the Degree Programme Committee until after the deadline for submitting theses and applications for evaluation.
Example: It is possible for you to graduate on 31 December 2021, because the official date of acceptance of the thesis will be registered as 31 December 2021, even though your master’s thesis will be processed by the Degree Programme Committee in January. The deadline for
submitting the degree certificate request is the official date of
graduation, which will be printed on the degree certificate.
