Updated 15 Apr. 15 Finding a supervisor The supervisor allocation procedure starts when the student finds a potential supervisor by using the department s thesis supervisor list. Here you can familiarise yourself with available supervisors and their topics. The student contacts ONLY one potential supervisor at a time by e-mail stating: 1. tentative title 2. tentative problem statement 3. tentative research approach (methods/theory) 4. tentative description of data 5. tentative outline 6. tentative list of literature 7. why the proposal is in line with the student s MSc programme 8. why the supervisor is relevant When the supervisor and the student have agreed to cooperate, they complete and sign the Master thesis registration form that is available on the web. This form contains information about the student, a working title, a project plan and a registration date. The MSc Programme Coordinator signs the Master thesis registration form on the condition that the proposal is in line with the student s MSc programme and that the supervisor is relevant. If your attempt to interest at least three advisers has been unsuccessful, please contact the MSc Programme Coordinator to assist in pointing you in the right direction. The signed form and the synopsis are then handed in to the programme secretary. The deadlines for registration are 1 January, 1 March, 1 April, 1 June, 1 August and 1 October. On the following pages, you will find a list of supervisors and their topics.
