You have applied and been accepted (provided you received a positive acceptance letter for the course) to 5TS15E, Independent project (master) 30 ECTS 50% at the Department of Forestry and Wood Technology at Linnaeus University. With this letter, we would like to warmly welcome you and give you some brief information before the start of the semester.

The course is your final thesis. It starts with an introduction, but you need beforehand to have a good view of what subject you will cover and who will be supervisor at Lnu.

You shall within a week from course start have an approved project plan. Your supervisor approves.

In midsemester , you will do a presentation of the work as far as you have progressed. It is a Zoom-check that you are in line with your planning and a training session for the final presentation in June, live in Växjö.

Below is a preliminary schedule.

Kind regards,
