Course syllabus
The course starts in January 2024. Since it is not a course that contains regular lectures or other centralized input, there is no first kick-off date. Please get in touch with the course coordinator Florian Kühn (florian.p.kuehn@gu.se) if you have not been assigned a supervisor by mid-January. In December, students with a postponed internship are being assigned a supervisor; after, all registered students will get information individually about who they should get in touch with for supervision.
On this Canvas page, please find the details of how to write a Master's thesis, schedule for examinations and such like. Some informative meetings are being planned, on the use of AI and another on how to organize the thesis research. The exact dates will be published early in January.
If you have any questions on early supervisor assignments, study routes, etc. please also be in touch.

Please note that the syllabus can be updated until 2 weeks before the start of the course.
