Masteroppgaven
Masteroppgaven
Det andre året i masterstudiet brukes til å jobbe med masteroppgaven. Oppgaven er et selvstendig vitenskapelig arbeid som skal omhandle tema innenfor språk, litteratur eller kulturkunnskap. Du kan også velge et tverrdisiplinært tema.
I løpet av andre semester skal alle studenter levere en prosjektbeskrivelse for masteroppgaven. Prosjektbeskrivelsen danner grunnlaget for formell godkjenning av veilederforholdet mellom student og veileder.
Masteroppgaven skal gi deg trening i å behandle et spesialisert emne på en vitenskapelig måte, og i å presentere resultatene på engelsk. Oppgaven skal være på ca. 80 sider (30000 ord), og den skal skrives på engelsk. Du får veiledning underveis.
Karakteren fastsettes etter vurdering av en intern og en ekstern sensor og kan justeres etter muntlig prøve. Den muntlige prøven har et omfang på ca. 30 minutter og avholdes på engelsk.
