Welcome to Thesis Course ASR25V in the Global Master's programme in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights at Dalarna University

The course runs January 20th til June 5th 2026

In this course, you will learn how to plan, conduct, and compile a scientific study on the subject of sexual, reproductive, and perinatal health in compliance with the different components of the research process. The course also includes the defence of the degree thesis and the critical review of other students’ degree theses.

The thesis course runs in parallel to the other courses throughout the semester. It will primarily consist of self-studies in thesis groups, pairs or individually. Supervision takes place in supervision groups. You and your peers in your thesis group will form a group together with your supervisor and three other student-thesis groups. The philosophy of the supervision groups is student-centred learning and peer review. This means that you will, in a structured way, receive oral feedback from peers in your group and oral and written feedback from the supervisor. Usually, the supervision groups meet every other week for supervision, with the flexibility to arrange informal Q&A sessions in between.  The halftime and final examination seminars are scheduled for 12 March (halftime seminar) and May 28th (Final examination seminar) and are held in larger groups.

More information and a timetable for supervision groups will be provided in the course introduction, available under Modules/Supervision Groups.
