Medical Radiation Physics, Degree Project

About this programme

Writing a Master thesis means that you do an individual project of scientific character. The process, similar to writing a bachelor thesis, is mostly autonomous where you will work on a project closely related to medical physics. You will have the opportunity to design the project or to give input on a project proposed by your supervisor. Your will therefore be supported by a supervisor, who will guide you throughout your research project. Together you will agree on the project aim that will give you the opportunity to develop your scientific skills in planning, data collection and analysis, and formulating accurate conclusions. Your research project is concluded with a thesis, and will therefore also train your skills in professional writing. Eventually you will present and defend your project in a public setting. This is an advanced course with mostly autonomous work. Note that to be able to get the highest grades on the degree project, you need to finish within a specific time. If there are special reasons, it may also be possible to study the course part time. Part time study needs approval from the course coordinator before the project is started. The teaching on the course consists of individual supervision. You are entitled to at least 20 hours of supervision during the course. Evaluation of your written report together with a public presentation and discussion. You will be assigned an individual contact person (from the list bellow) who also will act as examiner. You are supposed to find a supervisor yourself.
