Your supervisor During the coming 1 3 terms you will cooperate closely on a project and a thesis with your supervisor. Finding a suitable project and supervisor is important. The various research groups will present themselves and their research areas today at 13:15. Based on this, you may decide which group you want to work with. In Sept/Oct, the researchers will present available projects. You contact a supervisor to apply for a project of your choice. If you have connections in industry, you may start an external project. By 1st December, the project and supervisor should be decided.
And, finally, in May and June 2018: you deliver your thesis, you present it, you graduate and you attend the graduation ceremony. Good luck!
