If specific and valid reasons exist, the course director decides whether an exception should be made to allow the thesis to be written individually.The thesis should in all areas (problematization, literature review, theoretical framework, analysis/interpretation, discussions and conclusions) be closely linked to research articles published in scholarly peer-reviewed academic journals.
The thesis may comprise a maximum of 15 000 words, excluding abstract/ summary, table of contents, notes, references and appendices.

Assessment
Assessment for the course will be continuous and is carried throughout the different course activities. The two assessment tasks are weighted in relation to their importance in the overall assessment of the course. The student’s results from the two assessment tasks are added up to a total course score that will then translate into the final grade for the course.
