A master's thesis is an academic research paper required for the successful completion of a master's degree program. It is an independent piece of work that demonstrates student's ability to conduct in-depth research, analyze information, and contribute to the academic and professional community in their chosen field.
We strongly urge you to commence your work promptly and adhere to the stipulated deadlines. Both the master's thesis and the accompanying internship courses collectively account for 22 ECTS credits, forming an indispensable component of all SPbPU MSc programs.
