Master's thesis

Master's thesis is the final work for Master's degree in which the student will benefit widely the skills and knowledge acquired in the Master's studies in order to solve a specific challenge. Master's thesis is one of the strongest ways to transfer to the working life after graduation.

Every year about 800 Master's thesis are done at LUT University. Most of them are commissioned by companies or other organizations.

Why to commission a Master's thesis?

For companies and other organizations the Master's thesis offers a possibility to

• get wider challenges or tasks done through student work
• get access to new information and apply theory to practical challenge and
• get to know a potential future employee and recruit him/her.

What kind of topic is suitable for a Master's thesis?

Wider design, development or research topics are suitable for Master's thesis. The variety of topics is wide. However, the topic needs to be directly linked to the content of the Master's programme. Check the previous Master's thesis at LUT University at LUT Pub system.

The length of a Master's thesis is about 80-100 pages and the time reserved for it is about 6 months of work. Masters's thesis are almost without exceptions done as individual work.

The students will start their Master's thesis projects according to their own schedules all around the year. However, the strongest need for Master's thesis topics is in the beginning of the autumn and spring semesters as well as at the end of spring semester.

LUT University recommends that the student will get paid for the Master's thesis project. This can happen either by employing the student for a work relationship or giving him/her a grant for the thesis project.

You can check the salary recommendations by employee unions and grant procedures below.

• TEK salary recommendations
• Suomen Ekonomit pay recommendations
• Grant through Research Foundation

LUT Career Spark subsidy covers part of the wage costs when employer offers an international student a paid Master's thesis position with employment relationship.

Other oblications

The company or other organization should

• offer a topic suitable for the thesis and be willing to define the topic in more detail
• actively participate in supervising the thesis project for the whole duration of the project and
• read the final Master's thesis and give comments to it.

Naturally, the student will also need an access to all the information and material needed from the company's / organization's side to execute the thesis project.

Masters's thesis always has a designated supervisor from LUT University.

Finding a student

You can publish your Master's thesis positions to our students in an electric JobTeaser job portal. We will publish all Master's thesis positions suitable for our study fields regardless of the salary level.

Note that the students will select the Master's thesis position which interests them and at the time that suits their studies. Therefore, all offered Master's thesis projects will not be carried out. We recommend that you will pay attention to the attractiveness of your Master's thesis position, the flexibility of its schedule and the way you present it to the students. Unpaid Master's thesis positions will be applied quite rarely.

The final topic of the Master's thesis will always be defined in a meeting together with the company / organization, student and the supervising professor.

Master's thesis reports are public documents and they will be published at LUTPub database.

If required, an embargo can be set for the report for max. 2 years. After that the report will be published.

If the student makes the Master's thesis in a work relationship, the employer and the student will sign a normal contract of employment together.

In all other cases, a separate agreement will not be signed. However, the employer may agree about the confidentiality of the information directly with the student.

The professor supervising and evaluating the Master's thesis is bound by the confidentiality obligation of the work agreement. Therefore, the teachers will not sign any separate confidentiality agreements.

If the Master's thesis is done in a work relationship, the employer is responsible for providing necessary insurances for the student.

For Master's thesis projects without a work relationship, LUT University students are covered with Worker's Compensation Insurance . Liability insurance is not provided by LUT University.
