Thesis information Faculty of Science

Last updated on 20 February 2025
Thesis and dissertation information from the Faculty of Science.

There is a bachelor project in the third year of the bachelor's programme. In this project, you can opt for theoretical deepening and an introduction to research. The bachelor's thesis is the conclusion of the bachelor's programme and is a test of competence. It shows that you can apply the knowledge and skills in the field of experimentation, use of theoretical models, data analysis, oral and written presentation, which were discussed in the bachelor's phase, in a project of any size. The bachelor project can also help you find out which field of work you find interesting.
You can then deepen your research in your master's programme. 

Entry requirements

Before you can start on your graduation project, approval for the project and the supervisors is required.

In addition, there are admission requirements. Consult the manual or the coordinator for the conditions.

Manuals can be found per study program in Canvas.

See also the page 'Internship or graduation project' for more information about approval and internship supervision, internship report and assessment.

Onstage

OnStage is the system at the VU to support a graduation project, such as a thesis or internship. OnStage helps the student, supervisors and other involved parties to guide the progress of the student.

OnStage gives an overview of the entire process of the graduation project: when and where a part or concept must be submitted, who is responsible for the next step, according to which criteria the assessment is made and what your final grade is.  

From 2023 on, OnStage will be gradually introduced at the faculties. If your educational program is going to work with OnStage for your graduation project, you will be informed.
