MSc Project
A master student at SDU is required to complete the MSc program at the University of Southern Denmark. The thesis work can be carried out individually or in groups of 2 students. The thesis writing and final presentation are individual. The projects differ every year and are typically linked to the most recent research activity of the group. The project ends with a defence during which the student presents their work to a committee including the supervisor and an external examiner.
