EN-500-1 Master Thesis (Alternative 1)
Autumn
English
EN-410 and EN-411 or the equivalent, and, in addition, 45 ECTS credits in English at master's level. 30 ECTS credits must be within the same area of specialization as the master's thesis (literary or linguistic). With literary specialization, moreover, these 30 ECTS credits must fall into the category of period courses.
By working with a master thesis students will -learn to formulate research questions -use scientific research methods -give independent contributions to the subject
The master thesis builds on independent research and writing on a topic either dealing with English literature or English language. The topic of the thesis should be related to one of the courses in the master programme. The Alternative 1 thesis should have a length of 20,000 to 25,000 words (i.e. approx. 80 typed pages).
Individual tutorials and a writing course.
Before the students can start on the master's thesis all courses belonging to the first year of the master programme must have been successfully completed. The master's thesis may not be submitted for assessment before all courses have been successfully completed.
The master's thesis is marked separately and a graded assessment is given. After the thesis has been assessed, an oral examination is arranged. In the oral exam the candidate gives a short presentation of the argumentation of her/his master thesis, followed by a discussion of the topic. Duration is usually 45 minutes. The oral exam may adjust the grade given for the thesis.
