Risk and Environmental Studies: Bachelor Thesis
15.0 ECTS creditsStudents are expected to integrate and further develop previously acquired knowledge in risk and environmental studies by focusing thematically on environmental risks in a societal context. The project can preferably be conducted in conjunction with a public agency, an organisation or a company.
Students plan and complete a supervised individual project, resulting in a scholarly thesis, which comprises topic formulation, research problem, aim and research questions, analytical specification and developement of the aim through reference to theory, delimitations, material and method, data collection, processing and compilation of primary material, analysis and discussion of data in relation to aim, questions and theory.
Instruction is in the form of individual and group supervision and seminars. Students are required to present and defend their thesis and serve as a peer reviewer of a fellow-student's thesis.
