In Module 9, which takes place over a one-year period, students will write a master’s thesis. Here, the knowledge, competence and skills they have acquired throughout the master’s programme will manifest. Each student will choose their own topic for the master’s thesis, which can address a theoretical problem or a project assignment. A theoretical problem can be investigated through empirical or theoretical research. Students can choose to examine an issue from their own experience in the professional field or select a completely different topic in systems-oriented design.
