The degree project can be: 1) a critical analysis of research studies in the field (literature study), or 2) their own empirical study. The second option applies to students who are studying towards a 60-credit master's degree. Students opting for a 120-credit master's degree can either choose to carry out a literature study (alt 1) and then conduct their own empirical study as a Master thesis, or carry out an empirical study (alt 2) as a pilot to an in-depth empirical master's thesis.
