Entry requirements
Before you start your thesis, you need to have finished at least 30 EC on level 3, among which Research Seminar A.

The Bachelor thesis History is the individual completion of the Bachelor of History. The final dissertation may stem from the theme of your Specialisation, but is at all times an independent product. In the first block of your thesis you will work on an outline for the final thesis; an outline of sufficient quality is a precondition for further participation in the thesis process. Please note: you only enroll for one starting block.

The structure of the thesis should include:

- a clearly defined and well argued research question;
- an elaboration of the main question into sub-questions;
- an explanation of the theoretical/analytical framework;
- a reflection on the method used and its operationalization;
- a critical justification and appreciation of the empirical material used (primary sources);
- an argument presenting the empirical material and relating it to the problem or question;
- a conclusion, briefly summarizing and analyzing the research results, connected to the research question;
- a bibliography and a notes section.
