The students are introduced to planning and performing a research project in the field of biomedical imaging as well as to critical, scientific thinking. Students will learn to plan and report the planning strategies of their research project, execute the experimental part/data collection, and orally present their research work.

The Master's thesis project will be conducted under supervision in a research group. Before starting the practical part, a student must submit a thesis information form and a thesis plan and present the plan in Thesis plan seminar. Responsible professor of the programme need to approve the thesis plan before the practical part can begin. The subject of the project need to be first discussed with the responsible professor. The project duration is approximately five months of intensive work with the practical part of the project. The results of the thesis project will be presented in the Master's thesis seminar New Discoveries.

Students are responsible for finding their own thesis projects.

The credits are part of the master's thesis for students in biomedical imaging and are given for the thesis plan, the thesis plan seminar, the thesis seminar and the practical laboratory work/data generation for the thesis.

The written thesis consists of the relevant review of literature, aims of the study, materials and methods, results and conclusions. Thesis will be accepted by the responsible professor of the programme and evaluated by two examiners.
