Overview
The Master thesis comprises 30 ECTS credits and takes the form of an academic project which is both theoretical and empirical. Students investigate a problem relevant for the academic field of research Geomedia Studies, and complete an independent theoretical and empirical research project (which may include elements of production) under supervision. The process offers students advanced research competence related to Geomedia Studies, and insight into problem formulation and work processes in the subject area. The thesis constitutes an exercise in managing a research project from original idea to completion in the shape of an academic essay or essay/project text. Supervision is provided for the duration of the course. Reregistered students are only offered supervision if circumstances permit.
