HISS2004 Thesis Workshop (5 cr)

Completing the master’s thesis.

• edistetään omaa tutkielmaa ja annetaan vertaistukea muille
• viimeistellään maisteriseminaarin aikana aloitettu maisterintutkielma

The theses workshop starts immediately after the master's seminar, in the following autumn, usually, therefore, in the fifth year of study.

Students commit to participating in workshop activities for at least one semester, and stay in the group until they submit the thesis for pre-examination.

The workshop meetings focus on setting targets, agreeing on timetables, a review of a virtual debate and then on the remaining open questions.

The minimum requirement is active participation in at least one semester (meetings about five times per semester), at least one oral and one written report and commenting on at least five of the texts presented to the workshop.

The workshop is marked as completed when the thesis has passed the pre-examination.

If a thesis is already completed before the start of the thesis workshop next semester, students may replace the master’s thesis workshop with an informal presentation of the thesis at the master’s seminar.
