Interim Regulations and Other Regulations

A recommendation is that this course is not started earlier than the students third year of studies. When the course starts it is suggested that the student is registered for 15 credits in Business Administration at the level G2F. Although the course is scheduled for the second half of the semester, i.e. the last 10 weeks, the introduction will be early in the semester. This procedure is to enable the distribution of supervisors and for the students to start their draft for the thesis. It also increases the possibility for the students to finish on time without having to compromise the quality of the thesis. It is mandatory that students participate in the course introduction.  
 
The allotted time for supervising is limited. In case of a non-approved thesis (the grade Fail) within the supervising time frame, the group is not entitled to receive any additional supervision time or a new supervisor but may continue on their own and come back for reassessment. In total the group is allowed to have the thesis assessed five times.  
 
The thesis is written in groups of two or three students  
 
This course overlaps with FÖA300, FOA300, EFO703, FOA214, FOA230.
