The MA programme Euroculture thesis is an important stage in a student’s intellectual development and the writing of it takes place in the third and fourth semester.
The purpose of the thesis is to give evidence of a student’s abilities in collecting and evaluating information, critically analyzing theories in the chosen area of inquiry, and constructing, testing and defending an argument. The thesis should also demonstrate a student’s ability to present research results concisely and in a scholarly form, and further show that the student is capable of producing original and independent work.
The MA thesis is a written account of interdisciplinary source and literature research based on a clearly defined problem, located within a contemporary European context (20th or 21st century) and has to deal with a topic related to the field of Euroculture, such as European culture, history, politics, foreign relations, literature and the arts, European law, history of religion in Europe or European institutions.
