Contents

The degree project comprises:

The degree project is an independent project. It is to be executed individually or in groups of two. If the degree project is carried out as a group, the contribution of each student must be clearly discernible.

The report is to be made available in a form suitable for examination at least one week before the seminar. The department is responsible for providing the requisite number of copies of the report for the seminar. The seminar can be timetabled for a day that is not within semester periods if the student, supervisor and examiner are in agreement. It is desirable, but not obligatory, that the report is critically examined by a student also presenting a degree project at the seminar. The same report can be critically reviewed by several fellow students. The seperate summary is normally to consist of 2-4 pages.

Examination details

Contact and other information

Examiner: The Head of Department appoints one or more lecturers with third-cycle qualifications at Lund University to act as examiner(s) for each subject undertaken as a degree project. This means that all degree projects including those written by exchange students will be examined at Lund University. The examiner decides on the grade to be awarded.
Further information: Before the student may commence work on the project the examiner(s) has(have) to approve the assignment and appoint a supervisor who will provide continuous supervision throughout the work on the project. Supervision is designed to ensure that, among other things, it is possible for the student to complete the project within a period of 20 weeks of full-time study. The student can only request supervision for a period of no more than 15 months. A supervisor will be appointed from persons the examiner deems suitable. The supervisor need not be a member of the academic staff of the Engineering Faculty. The examiner(s) is (are) not expected to provide the majority of the supervision. Notification of the degree project is to be made to the Student Services Centre before work on the project commences. The Centre checks that the student satisfies the requirements to commence work on the degree project. A copy of the final report of the degree project is filed in the departmental archives and the department ensures that the student has registered the passed degree project in LUP student papers.
