Bachelor and Master Theses

Thesis Work in Computer Science, Electronics and Aeronautics

At the end of your education you are required to do a final thesis, either at Bachelor or Master level. It is encouraged to do the thesis at a company to get a feel for how it is to work "in the real world", but please make sure that IDT approves your thesis before you promise something to the company.

The thesis coordinator is Dag Nyström - reach him at exjobb_idt_v@mdh.se.
NOTE: Use this email address for ALL correspondence with the thesis coordinator. Do NOT use the direct staff mail address

Supervision hours

In the areas Computer Science, Electronics and Aeronautics, students have right to 16 hours supervision time for 15 hp thesis projects and 32 hours for 30 hp thesis projects. This time includes also answering e-mails, etc., so not only scheduled meetings. The examiner has 4 hours for examination.

Basic level

Computer Science: CDT307, 15 hp

Electronics: CEL304, 15 hp

Aeronautics: MFL001, 15 hp

The thesis is required to be specified in a way that it clearly shows that the student has to analyse the problem and investigate/evaluate different models/methods suitable to solve the problem, this in order to motivate a choice/selection of a model/method. The thesis is not required to have research level.

Advanced level

Computer Science: CDT503, 15 hp and CDT504, 30 hp

Electronics: CEL504, 15 hp and CEL505, 30 hp

Embedded Systems: DVA419, 15 hp and DVA407, 30 hp

The same requirements as Basic level with the difference that a Advanced level thesis is required to contain research level/research related methods and results. The students are to be familiar with the topic of the thesis in order to deepen their knowledge with what is done today by researchers within the topic.
