Extent: 300.0 c

 

Thesis:

A bachelor thesis of 15 credits (Kandidatarbete) shall be done for completing the first three years of studies. In the bachelor thesis students must integrate, extend and develop their knowledge and skills in a selected area of what's covered within the previous courses, in the program. The bachelor thesis also aims to provide knowledge and skills in engineering and scientific approach.

Within the framework of the selected master program, student performs a 30 credits thesis. For this work, which can be located either at the university or to industry, the following rules apply:

  • A degree project with a scope of 30 or 60 credits is completed at the end of the master's program and the master's engineering program. The degree project is carried out within the selected master's program
  • To start the degree project requires 225 credits and sufficient knowledge of the topic the thesis belongs to. Examiner determine if student has sufficient knowledge to start a thesis project.
  • The structure of the thesis as well as problems definitions before onset approved by the Program director as well as by the examiner or other competent supervisor at the institution regardless of where the thesis is initiated, planned and carried out.
  • Degree students shall attend as audience at least two thesis statements. In addition to this, they shall also oppose on another thesis.
  • The work shall be presented both in writing and orally. The written report must be substantively and stylistically designed to qualitatively correspond well to reports prepared in the industry. The report shall be presented orally at a seminar.

Programme concentrations:

Besides the common and compulsory courses, the first three years also are made up by a number of engineering courses in one of several technological specializations. As a student, you will during the second year choose a technology profile that includes multiple related courses totalling 30 credits. The choice is made during the spring semester (the exact date is communicated in due time) in year two, and the first technology courses studied during the fall semester in year three. The technical specializations that can be selected are:

- Industrial production
- Information Technology
- Chemical and Biological Engineering
- Financial Mathematics

Furthermore, there is an opportunity for students with sufficient previous university studies in the field of technology to be able to design their own individual technology profile, which in each case shall be approved by the program director. The courses shall be of sufficient scope (i.e., at least 30 credits in the technology) and deep enough (there should be a connection and a certain progression between courses). Furthermore, the total course package provides sufficient knowledge so that they considered complying with the prerequisites to any of the technology-oriented, Masters programs at Chalmers. This technology orientation is denoted as:

- Individual technology
