The thesis project is carried out either as a scientific work, often in collaboration with an external partner (business, public sector, including higher education, or association) that has a relevant problem or as an in depth literature study. In the chosen area for the thesis project, students formulate purpose, problem formulation, and question(s); search for and consider relevant literature; (where applicable) choose a data collection method and collect data in accordance with that method; choose a method/methods of analysis; and reflect on results and the methods used.
