Welcome to the African Studies MA Thesis course which is the final part of the African Studies programme. The thesis gives the student the opportunity to work independently, critically, and in-depth with a topic of his or her own choice from the field of African Studies. The MA thesis (15 ECTS) is written in the second semester of the programme. It is a prerequisite that the student has passed 30 Higher Education Credits of African Studies Autumn courses before admitted to the spring term Master Thesis Course (AS3013) with supervision. The Master Thesis Course runs every year and begins with the handing in of a Research Proposal (AS3024) by mid-January, continues with the handing in of the Elaborated Research Plan (AS3020) by mid- to late March (when each student’s supervisor finally is assigned), and ends with the master’s Thesis Examination by mid- to late-June.
