The Master's thesis allows the student to demonstrate his or her ability to independently handle a scientific project from the area of process engineering within a limited period of time by means of scientific methods.

The final thesis is defended by the student with an oral presentation of about 15 minutes, plus a discussion of about 10 minutes. The discussion constitutes a final oral examination.

The grade of the written thesis is the unrounded mean value of the assessments by the supervising university professor and a second (internal or external) supervisor.

The module grade is determined by the supervisors as follows:

o   80% for assessment of written thesis

o   20% for presentation and defense of thesis
