Course syllabus
The course starts in January 2025. 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) to be assigned a supervisor by mid-January. NOTE: Without notification, I cannot assign a supervisor since I do not know who of you wants to start with their thesis right away or later; also, I need your PMs to know what you plan to write about, in order to find a fitting supervisor for you.
NOTE 2: Please, for all communications, by all means use e-mail; I do not check or answer the Canvas communication.
All registered students who have sent their PM and requested a supervisor being assigned will get information individually about who they should get in touch.
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 how to organize the thesis research (Feb 6) and another on the use of AI (Jan 23). Please see details in Modules -> Workshops.
If you have any questions on early supervisor assignments, study routes, etc. please also be in touch.

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