Finance, Bachelor Thesis

Education facts

Code: EFI303

The course is included in the sixth semester of the Bachelor’s Programme in Business and Economics for students majoring in financial economics. It is also offered as a single subject course. The aim of the course is for the student to conduct an independent scientific study of substantial scope, applying theories, models and concepts to empirical material. Writing a thesis entails independently identifying and formulating a substantial and complex research question, and conducting the analysis within the given time frame. The work is based on the scientific foundations, methods, and current research questions of the field of financial economics. The project results in a written academic thesis, which should demonstrate a scientific approach and be clearly structured and well written. The course concludes with a seminar where the student defends their own thesis and acts as opponent on another group’s thesis. The thesis is to be written jointly with another student. This rule is applied strictly, although exceptions may be made, for instance if an uneven number of students are enrolled in the course. The choice of topic is made by the students in consultation with the supervisor. The thesis must be written in English.
