The master thesis (24 CP) is a substantive piece of work that demonstrates your in-depth familiarity with a particular topic from the program’s fields. A typical thesis will provide an original, critical synthesis of existing research, as well as evidence of your independent research, using relevant theoretical and/or empirical methods.
Your work on the master thesis will be facilitated through individual advising by a program faculty member as well as a Master Thesis Seminar (6 CP), providing opportunity to collect feedback from peers and a wider range of faculty members on your master thesis project. The master thesis should signal to future employers your ability to carry out independent work on challenging substantive issues in global finance and/or economic policy analysis.
