Thesis

Second-year Research Master’s students writing a Thesis in periods 3 and 4 must finish by the end of period 4. The final thesis is typically due on the first Friday of July. Always refer to the course manual for details.

Register your thesis

In Research Skills 3 (RS3) during Year 2, students write a research proposal related to their RM thesis. After the course, the ECRMT coordinator asks students to complete the thesis registration form by the end of January. The RM coordinator then informs supervisors about procedures and deadlines. Once registered, thesis supervisors cannot be changed.
