Education facts

Code: 2FE300

The objective of this course is to develop the student's critical ability and the student's ability to independently undertake and solve a business problem using scientific methods. Thus, the main task of the course is comprised of a comprehensive independent work (thesis). A chosen research question of relevance for practical business problem solving is to be thoroughly analyzed and described. The thesis work must be based on empirical material. **Module 1. Work-in-progress seminar, 0 credits** The thesis work is to be supported by an oral and written critical examination of a prior Bachelor's thesis. The written examination should follow the directives for side-oppositions. The aim is both to establish the requirements and extent for the thesis work and to give practice before the side- and main opposition work. **Module 2. Side-opposition, 0 credits** The aim of this module is to develop the student's ability to examine written reports and investigations within the field of business administration, from a critical and scientific point of view. **Module 3. Bachelor's thesis, 15 credits** The thesis work should prove the student's independent ability to investigate and develop a focused topic within the field of business administration. The emphasis lies in a critical choice of method, creating a relevant theoretical frame of reference, and an analysis of the theoretical and empirical material, where the author should make a contribution to the chosen subject or problem area. **Module 4. Main opposition, 0 credits** The student's critical ability is to be documented by conducting a main opposition/major critical analysis of someone else's Bachelor's thesis work.
