Description

Students participate in the research programmes of the Institute of Education and Child Studies. Which study a particular student participates in depends on the student’s personal interest and focus, the availability of ongoing studies and the availability of staff capacity. The supervisor is the staff member responsible for the particular study the student is involved in. The supervisor is responsible for supervising the research internship as well as the writing of the Master’s thesis. The Master’s thesis is developed and written in four stages, each focusing on a particular part of the thesis (introduction, method, results, and discussion).
