Project paper in applied physics and mathematics
About the course
The course cannot be taken as a singular course.
The content of the project paper will depend on the planned profile of the Master's thesis, which normally is to be carried out in the following semester.
The project has to be approved by the Programme Board. Application for approval must be submitted to the Programme Board within a deadline, which is normally 1 September in the autumn semester and 1 February in the spring semester. Students apply by handing in a supervision contract along with a project description. Students must register for the exam as for ordinary courses.
