Master's thesis TX00CZ03-3002 13.01.2020-31.05.2020 30 credits (T0919S6) + -
Learning outcomes of the course

The student concentrates on working unsupervised and carries out the Master's thesis. The student deepens his or her professional knowledge and expertise and learns to take responsibility for projects. The student learns to evaluate his or her own expertise and complements the expertise appropriately. During this process the student applies the data search methods relevant to his or her own field of study, adapts previously acquired information with new information and creates new solutions and interpretations. The student will learn to perceive details as parts of a larger context. The student knows how to write a report to describe, analyse and clarify the process and the results of the project.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Master's thesis, being part of the practical research and development work of Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, is often carried out as a part of wider, diversified projects of the school or the surrounding The community.

Course contents

- applying theory into practice
– argumentation and justification of the choices made
– innovation, planning
– methods
– reflection
– data management
– problem solving
– independent working skills
The purpose of the Master's thesis is to enhance the student’s problem solving ability, creativity and independent working skills. The thesis project is carried out as a scientific, operational or artistic development task, and it always includes a written report. It can be a design project, a development project, a survey, an assessment project or an operational or artistic unit. The thesis project uses research results and applies proven work and research methods.
Connected to the professional studies, the Master's thesis is carried out either as an individual project or in a small group. The student is guided in the Master's thesis project by a teacher from the degree programme together with other expert instructors, and nowadays often an instructor from the working life. The purpose of the Master's thesis project is to enhance the student’s professional expertise and enable him or her to be employed in expert positions.
The stages of the Master's thesis project include selection of subject, scope definition, project planning, data acquisition, material collection and analysis, development and realisation of ideas, assessment, and report writing. Even though there are similar features in the process, the Master's thesis project is always one of the kind, since the student, subject and field are different. The Master's thesis project is terminated by a maturity test where the student proves his or her expertise in the subject matter and in Finnish language.
