The graduation research includes scientific research in a topic from Computational Science. The research is carried out at the University of Amsterdam or other institutes at the Science Campus in Amsterdam, but could also be located at other universities, research institutes or private companies in The Netherlands or abroad.
The research should be independent, but conducted under the daily supervision of (one or more) staff member(s) and embedded in a scientific project of the host institute, and should aim at a scientific publication in a conference or peer-reviewed journal. The Master thesis (42EC) should include and extensive literature survey (accounting for 6EC) that will normally commence during Block 2 of Year 2. From Block 3 Year 2 a student on the normal schedule will then spend full time on the graduation research (a remaining 36EC). The final scheduling should be discussed with the supervisor of the graduation thesis.
The graduation research is finalized with a thesis and a public lecture. The thesis manual can be found here
The manual provides key information regarding the entire thesis process. The document is being updated to incorporate the latest information.

Students are encouraged to start planning for their thesis project at an early stage, ideally this should begin before the end of the first year. Students are also very much encouraged to pursue their own interests and explore possible topics with researchers within CSL, UvA and beyond.
