Master's thesis

Please follow this link for the course information retrieved from the ETH semester programme.

The Master's thesis will typically cover the last term of the programme. The thesis is supervised by a professor or associate professor teaching a module course. One of the main learning goals is to advance your ability to work autonomously, conceptually and scientifically within a current research project. Typically you would choose a subject related to the choice of your modules to be best prepared for the thesis. You will finalise your thesis with a written report and an oral presentation.
