10. About the thesis
- Language: The thesis is to be written in English.
- Individual or in pairs: The course plan envisions that the thesis is an individual work.
- Scope
-
- Normally, about 60 pages of core text (excluding references etc.) using LNU template is an appropriate length. Add to this the title pages, list of references and any annexes.
- A thesis of less than 40 pages of core text (excluding references etc.) has not been able to dig deep enough into the subject and cannot receive a passing grade.
- A thesis of more than 100 pages of core text (excluding references etc.) will also not receive a passing grade, since a part of the research assignment is to limit the topic and write concisely.
- Thesis template
- To create a uniform layout for theses at LNU, all students are to use the document template entitled “Thesis Template”
- In case you need help with installing or using the template, please contact academicsupport@lnu.se
- We recommend that you use the thesis template right from the start of your writing process. If you attempt to copy a version of your text from another document into the template, formatting errors may occur that are time consuming to sort out.
