The Thesis Seminar for Architecture and Interior Architecture is organized during the Fall term for students who are doing their Thesis already or are going to do it during the following Spring term. If you need the credits for the course during the Spring, it is possible to complete it independently. The guidelines for independent work can be found on the page Thesis Seminar Independent Work.
The Thesis Seminar is a course aiming at helping you structure your thesis and your plan for getting it done - it is aimed at students who have an idea of their thesis topic, may have started already working with it, and aim at getting it ready during the next semester.
You should have an idea of your topic and interests, but even if your ideas are quite unformed at the moment, during the seminar we will work together to develop a plan and framework for you to approach your topic and complete your thesis.
The result of the course will be the Thesis Report that contains:- A (preliminary) abstract of your thesis, describing concisely the topic, your methods for approaching it, the structure of your thesis, and the results of your work.
- A review of the context of your thesis, whether the focus is on a design (suitable references, etc.) or research (literature, etc.), or a combination of both.
- A workplan and schedule for finishing your thesis.
During the sessions, we will approach your topics through writing assignments, readings, and discussions.
Location: we will meet on Fridays in the spaces R1-160a (Rakentajanaukio 4) and sometimes also in Q202, in Väre, unless otherwise stated in the schedule. The sessions should be all attended (unless otherwise stated) and session material will be posted on the MyCourses site.
Time: the sessions always start at 15:15 and end at or before 17:00.
