Master's thesis 30 ECTS
Master's thesis (30 ECTS) is co-supervised by Aalto, TU Delft and RWTH Aachen professors. The topic of the Master's thesis has to be agreed with all these universities. EMMEP/EMC students need to follow the rules and regulations of all three partner institutions concerning the Master's thesis and graduation.
For the instructions at Aalto, please see Completing your master's thesis.
Elective studies
European Mining Minerals and Environmental Program contains 90 credits of major (European Mining Course) studies and 30 credits Master's thesis. Students can do some electives but this will be on top of the 120 credits required for the MSc (Tech) degree.
