A major part of your master programme will be devoted to doing a research project, and at some point in your MSc programme you have to choose your research topic. The next annual Research@LiC poster market will be on Monday 11 October 2021, 16h.
An important part of the student’s master’s programme Chemistry or LST is the component of research training. For the research specialisations, at least 60 EC is required. For EDU30, the minimum is 40 EC, and for the other specialisations (BS, SCS and EDU60), at least 30 EC is required. Students can choose to extend the research training component with an additional 1 - 20 EC. In this case a part of the electives is used to extend the research project.
All major and minor research projects are concluded with a written thesis describing the research.
All major research training projects are concluded with a Thesis Talk. This presentation constitutes a training in presenting original research work to a group of non-experts. All students are required to attend at least 7 Thesis Talks from their fellow students before their own Thesis Talk (10 Thesis Talks for students not following WORK).
Some external research projects require prior approval from the Board of Examiners. A decision can take up to a month to obtain, so students are encouraged to apply on time.
