    Due to the exceptional situation, some changes have been made to accommodate the practicalities of online work and studies. These announced changes are department-wide and applicable for the whole term. The changes have been approved by ARTS Vice-Dean of Education, Rasmus Vuori. General information about MA Thesis Presentations is at https://djs.aalto.fi/thesis-presentations.

    About (3.) Oral Presentation

    The main deliverable of the master’s thesis work is the written thesis. Please remember that oral presentation is only one among several quality criteria, as clearly reflected in the ARTS MA Thesis Guide. This also means that potential technical issues do not significantly impact grading. We recommend treating the oral presentation as an expansion of the ‘abstract’, rather than a short version of the whole thesis.
