Environmental Science, Degree Project
Deepen your understanding of environmental science by getting out of the classroom and completing a research-based degree project on a topic of your choice!
This 45-credit version of our degree project course offers 28 weeks of full-time work embedded in one of the research groups in the Department of Environmental Science, or with an approved external supervisor. Students can select their project based on pitches made by prospective supervisors, or by visiting research groups to discuss and develop their own project ideas.
Your degree project is the capstone on your Master’s studies in environmental science. It is your chance to put everything you have learned into practice, and to independently investigate new scientific questions in the field!

Course structure
Teaching format
Your project will be initiated by writing a research plan together with your supervisor. Then you will get to work on your independent project, with support from your host research group and supervisor. Halfway through your project you will summarize a scientific study that provides key background to your work, and report your progress in a mid-term seminar. When your work is complete, you will report the results of your project in a Master’s thesis, and in a final public presentation.
Assessment
You will be graded by an independent examiner and the course responsible teacher based on your final report and a public presentation of the results of your research project.
