MA Thesis (30cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The module builds upon work done in research module 4.2. It provides an opportunity for
students to undertake independent study related to the professional structure and/or the
performance of sign language interpreting and translating. Students will be expected to
demonstrate an ability to develop and sustain a logical and consistent argument in
relation to the analysis of relevant issues. This must be accomplished with due regard for
the validity of available evidence and methods of enquiry

Accomplishment methods

Teaching methods
After registering their topic for their MA thesis, students have 20 weeks to write their MA
thesis. During this time, students work independently under supervision from two tutors
from two partner countries. Students are encouraged to choose one of the areas of
research dealt with in module 4.2 as a topic for their MA thesis. The MA thesis may thus
follow up, elaborate upon or expand previous work.
At the end of the module, student work will be presented and discussed publically at a
colloquium.
