EKIS6001 Maturity Exam for MA Thesis (0 cr)
Description
The maturity test is a demonstration of a student’s familiarity with the subject matter of the thesis written for the degree, as well as of command of academic writing style. At the same time, students who have completed their school education in Finnish or Swedish demonstrate their excellent language skills in the language of their school education.
Students who have demonstrated their Finnish or Swedish proficiency in the maturity test for a bachelor’s degree do not need to demonstrate their language proficiency for a master’s degree completed in the same language.
Students who have completed their school education in a language other than Finnish or Swedish can complete their maturity test in Finnish or Swedish, if they have sufficient skills in these languages, or in English.
The content of the maturity test is assessed by a representative of the discipline, and the language is assessed by a reviser approved by the Movi. If a student has demonstrated their Finnish or Swedish skills in the maturity test of the bachelor’s degree, the maturity test of the master’s degree can be assessed for both content and language by a representative of the discipline.
For students who complete their maturity test in a language other than their language of school education or mother tongue, familiarity with the subject of the thesis and command of academic writing style are emphasised in assessment.

- demonstrates familiarity with the subject of the thesis
