Previous master theses in mathematics and didactics of mathematics

Most of the master’s thesis are written in Norwegian. Here is an overview of master thesis written in English, in both Mathematics Education and Mathematics. 

Most assignments can be found in Oria by searching for the name of the student. Many new master's theses are available digitally, and if you do not find the thesis, it may be exempt from the public.

If the thesis has just been delivered, it will take some time before it becomes searchable in Oria.
