Thesis work
The research work constitutes the largest part of the doctoral training and is stipulated to take two and a half years of the PhD study period. The research work is written up as a thesis – as a monograph or a collection of articles with a synopsis.
Monograph/articles
The thesis could be written as a monograph or consist of normally three to four articles and a synopsis/introduction synthesising the articles. The synopsis should be of the same length as a normal scientific article in the research field in question. The PhD candidate is expected to be the sole author of the thesis when it is written as a monograph, and of the synopsis if it is an article-based thesis. Discuss the choice of thesis type with your supervisor(s).
