The objective of the module is that students will be able to apply their knowledge within development and international relations at a specialised level.
The fourth semester of the Master’s programme is reserved for writing the thesis; students will work in detail on an issue related to development studies and international relations.
The semester coordinator must approve the topic of the thesis, and a deadline for submission will be set. If students have opted for a full specialisation within Chinese Area Studies, Latin American Area Studies, Global Gender Studies or Global Refugee Studies, the topic of the thesis must be within the chosen specialisation.
The Master’s thesis will be written on the basis of supervision, but students must organise their own thesis process and choose their topic/problem and find relevant literature and source material of their own accord.

The module will be completed by an externally assessed oral
examination on the basis of the submitted written thesis, which may
have been prepared individually or in cooperation with other
students. The examination will take the form of a conversation
between the student(s), the examiner and the external examiner on
the basis of the Master’s thesis written by the student(s). The
Master’s thesis must be a minimum of 35 pages and may not exceed 70
pages when written individually. When two students write their
thesis together, it must be a minimum of 50 pages and may not
exceed 100 pages. When three students write their thesis together,
it must be a minimum of 65 pages and may not exceed 130 pages.
Proportional weighting: The Master’s thesis/the written work is considered the shared responsibility of the group. The Master’s thesis constitutes the basis for the examination and assessment of the oral performance. |
