we have recently started providing them with research
assignment for
students' thesis work (to work on for either during 10 weeks (Bachelor)
or 20 weeks (Master)). As a small pilot I gave a presentation about this
a couple of weeks ago and we have seen a great interest in this
opportunity from staff and student
Interesting! But, sorry for the stupid questions, how can this work? Are
you talking of thesis as in final work for the degree? Does it mean the
student can decide the thesis on their own? What does the staff have to
do with it? How are external entities allowed to propose theses?
https://studyinsweden.se/study-information/degree-programmes/masters-studie…
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis#Sweden are not particularly
useful to explain.
In Italy the bachelor/master thesis is in practice proposed by the
prof./teacher and the university staff has no say whatsoever in it. (Let
alone the state; that would even be against the constitution, probably.)
