Before the start of your thesis, you will complete a course Research and Development Skills ANA001HH1AE (5 ECTS). This course prepares you for doing your thesis, and at the end of it, you will submit a thesis topic proposal to Wihi. Wihi enrollment automatically registers you for Thesis phases 1, 2 and 3, and separate registration is not needed.

When your thesis topic proposal has been approved in Wihi, you will get a thesis advisor. All discussion with your thesis advisor will take place in Wihi.

The online workshops are held on Thursdays at 2– 4.30 pm in Teams. The timetable is shared in Thesis phase 1 -moodle . In addition to information sessions, there will be  group and individual guidance. During the 8-week seminar you will write your thesis plan. Thesis seminars are shared with ITBBA degree students.
