Faculty of Health Sciences; Form of the thesis
At the Faculty of Health Sciences, the thesis may be completed in one of the following formats:
- By conducting experimental, clinical, or other empirical research or development work and writing a report on the process and results.
- As an article-based thesis, i.e. an original article published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
- As a broader, systematic literature review.
As a rule, the author of an article-based thesis must be the sole first author of the article. If this is not the case, a written statement must be prepared jointly with the main supervisor and submitted to the head of the department/institute/school for assessment during the approval process, along with the other required documents. An article intended for inclusion in a thesis may be accepted once the manuscript is ready for submission to a scientific journal.
