Master's Project

The Master's Project typically comprises a study of particular issues at the students workplace and must demonstrate the student’s ability to formulate, analyse and process issues in a qualified way.

The student will be assigned a supervisor from the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences and if possible an external supervisor.

Before commencing the Master's project, the student should sign a master's project agreement. Request the master's project agreement from and/or return the signed agreement to the study administration via master@sund.ku.dk.

Master’s projects can be carried out in groups of no more than four students. Any group work must be approved by the supervisor as a part of the master's project agreement. If a Master’s project is written by a group of students, the oral examination must be individual and the student may only attend the examination of the other students in the group if his or her examination has been held.

The language of the Master's project and the oral examination can by agreement with the supervisor be either English or Danish.

The Master's project may also comprise a published or unpublished scientific article, written or co-written by the student. If there is more than one author, each must submit a signed co-writer statement specifying the part or parts of the article for which he or she is responsible. The co-writer statement must reflect the relative contributions at the time of submission as a master's project. The student will be examined on the article in accordance with the rules applying to the master's project exam in general.

All Master’s projects must have an abstract in English (compulsory) and may include an abstract in Danish (optional). The abstract must be one A4 page. The abstract must summarize project aim, the methods used, important findings, a discussion if relevant, and a conclusion. The abstract will be included in the overall assessment of the master's project.

The cover page of the Master’s project must include the title in English, and subtitle if relevant, the student’s name, study programme, the year, the name or names of supervisor/s, department but not the student’s civil registration (CPR) number.
