Course content

First and foremost, keep in mind that this is an International Shipping and Trade Thesis. The project must be international in nature.

 

It is recommended that you examine your past years in the BSc IST programme curriculum. Brainstorm to find a subject area in which all members of your group are interested.

 

Once you have decided on a subject area, you will need to identify a topic within that area, and then formulate a project proposal which addresses an issue you wish to research. This is your problem formulation.

 

Your working materials should include a 200 - 500 word statement which clearly indicates your problem formulation; it should clearly show how you shape a topic within the subject and how your topic is directed towards a relevant issue. This statement should provide you with a working title, which can be in the form of a focused question. Project titles should never be formulated as a question.
