| Objectives
Working on this comprehensive independent research project over a period of one year gives the student specialised competence in a particular topic, as well as general competence in scientific and other work in the field. By preparing and organising comprehensive materials, asking relevant questions and using adequate methodology, the student will also acquire competence in project work and problem solving. In addition, the student will be well trained in formulating and presenting comprehensive materials in written form. | Contents
The master''s thesis is an independent scientific study on an individually selected topic which must have been approved by the appointed supervisor. The thesis should be of 80 - 130 typed pages, with 2.5 - 3.0 cm. margins, line spacing 1.5 and 12 point font. In some cases it may be necessary to exceed this number of pages, especially when the presentation of materials is extensive. The grading of the thesis will not be influenced by its volume, as long as it satisfies the minimal requirement, but will depend on how the topic of the thesis has been addressed and discussed.
Recommended previous qualifications/ courses:
A bachelor''s degree in language and literature with intermediate courses in Nordic language and literature or equivalent. | Form of teaching
