Summary of requirements and procedures for a master's thesis project at the department of information technology of Uppsala University.

This information relates to a 30 credits "D or E"-level (master's) thesis project. There are also other kinds of thesis projects with different (lower) requirements.

A master's thesis project is a course - with examination - not an internship or other work practice. For this reason it is important that everyone connected with a thesis project are aware of the requirements so that there will not be problems at the conclusion of the project.

The master's thesis project is the final part of a four to five year long undergraduate study program. During the project, the student should demonstrate that he/she can apply the knowledge acquired during the study program. Problems and solutions should be treated in a scientific manner. The project should involve additional study in some subject area. It is important that the student studies relevant (scientific) literature as well as any related work. The project should conclude with an extensive analysis of the project itself and its results. Again note that in Sweden, a master's degree is an undergraduate degree, so the student is not expected to do original research (although that is certainly allowed). The total effort of the thesis project - including writing the report - should be about 20 weeks of full-time work.

Formally, the goal of the master's thesis project is "to give the student training in planning, carrying out and presenting an independent piece of work and to provide contact with research and development."

This means that not all projects are suitable as master's thesis project. Projects primarily involving implementation (program design/coding/testing/debugging) work are not generally acceptable as master's thesis projects. (Although sometimes an implementation project can be made acceptable by including suitable design issues.) As a rule of thumb, not more than a third of the project should be implementation work. If the implementation presents particular challenges which are connected to the subject of the thesis project, then up to half the effort may be implementation. Also, projects where the student is continually working from instructions is also generally not acceptable as the student should carry out independent work. If the student is studying for an engineering degree, there is the additional requirement that the subject of the project should be relevant from an engineering point of view.

The thesis project is typically carried out in a company or other organization outside the university. Every thesis project has a supervisor and a reviewer, to be appointed before the work begins. The supervisor should be competent within the subject area of the project and should belong to the organization where the project is carried out. He/she is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the student. The reviewer is typically a faculty or other scientific staff member at Uppsala University. The reviewer should follow up on the project at regular intervals and is responsible for the grading (pass/fail) of the thesis.

The thesis project is initiated by the student writing a thesis specification with the assistance of the supervisor. The specification (typically 1½-3 pages in length) should include a description of the proposed work, background, methodology and expected results as well as a time plan.

The project specification should be approved by the reviewer before any work begins. Usually, there will be a few revisions of the specification before the reviewer is satisfied.

The student shall write a report of the project. It is usually best to start writing early and write incrementally as the project proceeds, as the authoring effort is often underestimated! The report should include the following:

• An abstract
• Background information so that a person trained in the general subject area (e.g. computer science, numerical analysis...) but without specialist knowledge of the subject of the thesis can understand it (at some level).
• A description of the problem
• A description of the methods used to solve the problem
• A description of the solution itself
• An analysis of how well the problem was solved
• If the problem could not be solved completely, a description of the probable reasons.
• A critical analysis of the work itself
• A comparison with other work on similar problems.

How to Survive Your Master Thesis?

Honestly, I don’t know the answer. As a student in the middle of the intensive 6-month period of the master thesis, I might have some tips but not all the answers. In this post, I am going to tell you all about the master thesis process, challenges, my story, and lastly you will find some survival advice based on my own experience.

When we had the first thesis seminar, our teacher asked the class “How is the thesis going? How do you feel?” I remember that almost everyone in the class replied: “I feel stressed.” Then, our teacher said to us “I hope this stress includes a bit of excitement too!” Well, he was right. The thesis is not only about stress. It is an opportunity to do in-depth research, read, write, and discuss a topic that interests you. Don’t forget to enjoy the process as much as you can.

First of all, if you have a friend or family member who is writing a thesis treat them nicely! If you are writing a thesis treat yourself well! The thesis is a big task. The pressure is huge. Here is a blog post that I wrote last year  on how to deal with the study stress , which is now more relevant ever. Similarly, in this post, I will focus on the thesis survival tips.

Now, I’ll start by telling you how the thesis process works based on my experience. After that, I’ll tell you how to survive during the process.

I study the two-year master programme. I had 4 different courses (2 of them was elective) during the autumn semester. At the same time, I was thinking about the possible topics for my thesis. Usually, the thesis process starts in January. Hence, students have a few months to find a topic starting from October to January. During the thesis process, there are no classes. You are responsible for your own time. That means you need to plan your schedule. It is important to create your own structure and stick to it.

In some programmes, it is possible to write your thesis in collaboration with a company or organization, which you may end up with a job offer. Who knows? Check out Usisipho’s blog post about finding a master thesis in Sweden. The second option is to have a master thesis partner. This is more applicable for one-year master programmes, which the thesis often has 15 credits that is conducted for 3 months. Read more of Concillier’s blog post on how to choose a Master thesis partner .

In my programme, writing a thesis is an individual task. On the one side, this brings isolation and therefore it might be challenging, on the other side, it means I am in charge of my own work and I can decide how and when to do it. However, I am not completely alone. I have a supervisor helping and supporting me. I have regular meetings with my supervisor to discuss my topic and to ask questions. Moreover, there are monthly meetings where students present their work and share their process.

Here are useful tips to survive your master thesis;

Start thinking about your topic early, choose a topic that interests you.

I can’t stress this enough: start thinking about your topic early. Finding a topic is harder than it sounds. You will spend a lot of time and effort on your research. Therefore, it is important to find a topic that will make you curious, motivated and passionate. You don’t have to come up with the most creative ideas. Write down your interests and ideas. Do Google research. Discuss it with your teachers. Try to find a thesis topic that something you like and doable.

 Find a good study spot.

You need to concentrate. Yes, you. First, find an inspiring and relaxed place. It could be a library or a common study space at the university. Coffee shops are also nice places to study with a piece of cake, coffee and maybe a company.  Second, put the phone away. Instagram is always there. You are not missing out on anything. Stay focused. If you have trouble focusing on one thing for a long time like me, you can divide your study time into smaller sessions.  Guess how many tabs do I have open in my browser right now? 10? 20?  Dozens of tabs. Similarly, Andrés wrote that he had difficulty focusing too. Check out his solution to work more productive; Pomodoro Technique. What is it, and why you should use it!

Meet with friends, talk to your classmates.

Human s are social beings. You can be happily introvert, extrovert, both or none. Social connection is necessary for our health and well-being. Working hard is good but it is very essential to have a balanced study-social life to avoid ending up hopeless, burnt, and exhausted. So, meet with friends for fika, a beer or lunch. Another way is to organize study groups. Talking to your classmates is helpful. You may realize that everyone is facing many difficulties and you are not alone. You may even inspire each other. A study buddy is also a good idea to stay motivated together on the thesis!

Set deadlines, plan your time.

It may seem that you have plenty of time to write a thesis. However, one of the most common mistakes people make is to leave it until the last minute. This is definitely not a good idea for your thesis. During the thesis process, you manage your own time. So, to be productive you can set deadlines for yourself or discuss it with your supervisor to find out what works best for you. One way is to establish a daily routine. Consider weekdays as if you had an actual job from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you are a night owl, you can do the opposite. However, be flexible about those hours. Sometimes you just don’t want to do anything. That’s okay too! For instance, when I get tired of sitting in the library for hours I just hit the gym in the evening for an endorphin boost.

Take time off, treat yourself.

YOU GOT THIS! There will be times that you feel you are going nowhere, stuck and lost. That is completely normal. We all have been there. Don’t be so harsh on yourself! Celebrate little things, even small achievements. Reward yourself with a cup of tea, a warm shower, your favorite TV show, a healthy meal or some extra sleep! You can take time off during the weekends to go for a walk, meet with friends or just stay at your cozy home.

Ask feedback and support.

This is a process. This is a long journey. There are lots of hard work behind every master’s thesis. When I say you are on your own I don’t mean that there is no one to help you. Usually, every thesis student has a supervisor to help them with their research. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Ask a friend, ask a colleague, ask your teacher. For instance, my teachers are always helpful, supportive and responsive. I am sure yours are too.

Check out Sanjay and Daniel’s amazing video for more tips

One Last Tip

Be curious. Enjoy the process. Believe in yourself. How about you? Are you writing your thesis? Do you have any tips? Share your suggestions and experiences in the comments.

Good luck to all with your thesis & exams!

Master thesis

The thesis is usually the last thing you do in the programme. The course runs in the spring semester, but it is also possible to write in the autumn semester.

A seminar is usually held in November to provide information about the Master's thesis course. This allows you to start thinking about the topic, supervisors and so on. An invitation to this seminar is sent out to students in semester 3.

If you do not pass your thesis or do not manage to finish it during a semester, you must register for the course again. Please contact [email protected] .

You do not need to repeat the thesis seminar if you have already participated in it. However, you must attend the last seminar even if you have already participated. Also note that you are only guaranteed supervision by your supervisor during the first semester of your thesis work. If you need more than one semester, it is up to your supervisor to decide how much he or she can supervise you.

Short facts about the master thesis course

• The thesis is the only course mandatory in the programme.
• You must attend all seminars on the thesis course.
• The thesis is graded by your supervisor and a co-assessor.

We’re very interested in students – you’re the ones we believe are creative, curious, and have lots of interesting perspectives to share.

Master Thesis Program

AI Sweden’s master thesis program invites students to sit at AI Sweden’s offices, use our resources and get support from data scientists and other employees. In previous cohorts we have welcomed students writing their theses with partners including Centiro, RISE, Zenseact, SLU, Recorded Future, Volvo Cars, and AstraZeneca, as well as with AI Sweden. It is a great opportunity for organizations to team up with the future workforce.

Please note: The application period is closed, and the program is up and running

Drawing upon the valuable insights shared by students and the wealth of experience gained from previous program cycles, we aim to provide support to the new cohort of students in some of the tasks that are well-known for being commonly overlooked. We invite the students to a series of workshops (once a month from February to April) to help them develop their soft skills, such as giving a talk and writing a master thesis. They will be welcomed into our offices for the period of their thesis work and we will offer a quiet space, access to our infrastructure and technical support, not to mention a friendly environment.

Is your organization interested in gaining value and new perspectives from masters students at some of the top universities in Sweden?

How to take part (as a supervisor)

Interest was registered by sending an email with a description of your suggested topic for one or more master theses to  [email protected]  and  [email protected]  and post it on  My.AI  under  Resources/Master Thesis Proposals  during fall 2023.

The description had to include:

• Name of the project
• Short description of the topic
• Your organization
• Your contact person and email address
• Preferred student background
• ​Preferred location

The thesis work began in January 2024. We helped spread the word and recruit the best students for your project.

What can partners expect? Student-industry collaborations are mutually beneficial. They create opportunities to share new insights and points of view while building competence and expertise on both sides.

Benefit from the knowledge of master students to solve current problems or dig deeper into existing tasks. Boost attractiveness to possible future employees by joining these collaborations. Opportunity to recruit students directly before they graduate.

How to take part (as a student) Students with an AI-related thesis, could express their interest in the program by sending an application. 

What can candidates expect?

• Valuable experience from working with real projects and applying theoretical knowledge.
• A community where you can benefit from each other’s experiences and challenges in different organizations and sectors.
• Attend exclusive events, lectures, and other activities.
• Working with the best in the field across Sweden.

About the program Students who enter the program work on the topics that matter most to partners and sit at one of our locations. They benefit from events and seminars from AI Sweden experts during the spring focused on growing their soft skills and providing extra support on common struggles, such as the writing process and defining and sticking to the research question that they want to address in their thesis work. Last but not least, they have access to the  Data Factory , the  Edge Learning Lab  and  DGX A100 , and other resources. 

See examples of previous students' topics on My AI

In spring 2022 the cohort welcomed students from Chalmers and SLU, and partners including Zenseact, SLU, Unibap, Volvo, and AstraZeneca. Some of the dissertations picked up on challenges and created greater awareness within topics such as cyber security, both at partners and AI Sweden.

"This is a great example of a low risk, low effort initiative, where organizations can explore and develop new areas ." - Kim Henriksson, Project Manager at AI Sweden’s Edge Lab
