• You may register your Master thesis once your have acquired 30 credit points in Basic Modules, have passed one Advanced Module in the field of study in which you want to write the Master thesis, and have passed one Research Module.
• On written request to the Economics Examination Committee and in reasoned exceptional cases only may the Master thesis be registered before having passed the Research Module. Please contact the Economics Examination Office for further information

• The completed registration form must be filled out by the student and sent to the supervisor by e-mail, cc'ing the Examination Office. The supervisor then informs the student and the Examination Office that they agree with the registration (topic etc.) by reply-all by e-mail.
• After this e-mail, the student has one week to sign (in the original only - no scan, digital signature or copy) and send the form to the Examination Office by post (or by dropping it in the Exam Office mailbox at the Juridicum). The date of the postmark/the day you dropped it in is decisive for meeting the deadline and registering the thesis.
  The Examination Office will take care of having the thesis registration forms duly signed by the supervisors.
• Please note that you have to register your Master thesis immediately once you have agreed on a topic with your supervisor.
  
• When registering, you need to specify the exact topic of your Master thesis. You may change your title later, but only with the consent of your supervisor. If you need to change your title, please contact your supervisor and ask them by mail cc'ing the Economics Examination Office so that they can give their consent to the title change, and so that we can implement it.
• Starting with the day of the registration, you have four months to finish your Master thesis.
• If you want to submit your Master thesis before the end of the semester, i.e. before 31 March or 30 September, you need to register your thesis no later than 30 November or 31 May respectively, if you plan on using the full four months of writing time for the thesis.
