Master Thesis Training
This free of charge event is an opportunity for master students to join an interdisciplinary and intercultural environment. Participants will receive supervision from an expert on their thesis, develop connections with students from all around the Baltic Sea Region, and become better acquainted with academic perspectives.
The Master Thesis Training (MTT) will take place on 24-27 March 2025 in Uppsala.
The event will accept participants from BUP participating universities who are studying towards a master's degree and are working on their thesis during the spring term of 2025. The content of the thesis should be within sustainability science and from a Baltic Sea Region perspective.
Previous editions of the Master Thesis Training have been highly rated by those who participated, receiving a rating of 9.2/10 in both 2023 and 2024 with students remarking that the event was helpful for them in improving their thesis.
The objective of the event is to provide master students from BUP participating universities with the opportunity to meet and discuss scientific problems with a focus on sustainability in an interdisciplinary and regional context. This will help students to improve their thesis writing process, connect with other students in similar positions, and familiarise themselves with the scientific traditions of other universities. Moreover, several aspects of thesis writing will be covered including language, citation, AI, helpful tools, procrastination, and mental health.
The event will be held at Geo Centre in Uppsala, however, there will also be a limited number of spots for online participants who are not able to attend in person (e.g. priority for online participation will be given to Ukrainian male students who can't travel).
The deadline to apply is 26 January 2025.
