Doing your degree project or writing a thesis

Here are some handy tips about how you can get in contact with companies, organisations or local authorities to do your degree project or thesis.

A degree project or thesis is a good way to get in contact with future employers and get valuable experience for your CV.

Where can I do my degree project or thesis? If you wish to have contact with companies, organisations or local authorities there are several alternatives:

• Look for a degree project or thesis in MDU’s advertising portal.
• Visit the thesis and degree project days arranged at MDU twice each academic year.

Make contact yourself with an employer and propose a project. You must first read about the company to understand what their needs are. Then present what you can contribute, why your expertise is needed and how the result of your degree project/thesis can benefit the company. The procedures for degree projects and theses can look slightly different depending on what you are studying. You can find out what applies to your specific programme from your School. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact a study counsellor.
