Structure and Content

Structure and content of a final thesis are mostly determined by their type. We distinguish the following types of theses:

  1. Research thesis. A research thesis performs and presents traditional empirical research work. You will be given (or may have to acquire yourself) qualitative or quantitative data to analyze and present your findings.
  2. Engineering thesis. An engineering thesis performs and engineering work; mostly this is software design and implementation in one of our projects (or with an industry partner) and it serves to show your skills.

Please talk about which type to choose with your supervisor. They may already have an opinion, stated in the original thesis offering (description). Make sure you are on the same page!
