Master thesis in social work

Students write a master's thesis and develop their abilities to use theories and methods in social work when analysing a chosen problem. Instruction is in the form of supervision and seminars. The thesis is discussed in a seminar where students defend their own thesis and serve as a peer reviewer of a fellow-student's thesis. Supervision is only provided for the course duration. Reregistered students are offered additional supervision if circumstances permit.
