CKE final: Thesis project (45 ECTS)

In the final thesis project the student performs research under the supervision of one of the staff members of the Centre. The thesis project contains a literature study (15 ECTS) and an empirical study (30 ECTS) on one of the core areas of the CKE programma (Content Management and Content Processing, Cognition and Communication, and Organisation and Information). The project will normally be performed within the Centre but can also be carried out in a research-and-development oriented department of a company or a government institution. Writing the thesis as well as a publishable paper finishes the project.
