Master’s Thesis. The Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS) constitutes a six-month, full-time project, aimed at advancing the skills and capabilities of students to work independently and creatively towards the solution of an independent research problem. In order to start the Master’s Thesis, students must: • have obtained a Bachelor’s Degree; • have fulfilled all additional requirements requested for the admission; • have achieved at least 28 credit points in the category “Core Courses”; • have acquired the 8 credit points for the Semester Project; • have acquired the 8 credit points for the Industrial Internship; • have submitted the final version of the Learning Agreement (through myStudies). Nonetheless, it is recommended to only start the Master’s Thesis after achieving all required credit points. The Master’s Thesis is either closely related to the research activity of the tutor or of an ETH Zurich professor or deals with a challenging topic faced by industry. The tutor approves the subject as well as the choice of the supervisor (professor at ETH Zurich) of the Master’s Thesis. The supervisor defines the roadmap, the milestones, deadlines, presentation, report, dates and the criteria for assessment, and is responsible for monitoring the structure and quality of the thesis. The student has to register the Master’s Thesis on myStudies under the menu item Projects/papers/theses. It is necessary to enter the details (start date, submission deadline and title) as agreed upon with the supervisor, as well as uploading the project description. The submission deadline is calculated automatically by the system (28 weeks) and is binding. After the confirmation by the supervisor and the tutor has been given, the thesis is registered definitely. 🡺 ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇ ered_papers.html If a Master’s Thesis is not successfully completed, a new topic must be defined.
