Assessment

Your performance in the course will be evaluated mainly on the basis of the final thesis, but class participation and thesis defence are also taken into account. Grades will be given in accordance with the Swedish grading system. The following grades will be used: VG (pass with distinction), G (pass), and U (fail). In order to pass the Master's Thesis course, students need to complete all mandatory course elements and to hand in an approved thesis within the prescribed time limit. The grade VG (pass with distinction) requires that the thesis has been duly discussed at the final seminar, and that it has been submitted within the prescribed time limit.

Uppsala University takes cheating and plagiarism seriously, and disciplinary action will be taken against any student suspected of being involved in any sort of cheating and/or plagiarism. The disciplinary action takes the form of warnings and limited suspensions.

Note: Only completed courses can count toward a degree.
