The IOD offers a Master Thesis course every winter term.

The Master Thesis course in the SIMC Master program is designed to provide students with an overview of scientific research.

After completion of the course, students will understand the concept of a research question and how and why different research designs are used to answer certain research questions. They can also identify major steps in reviewing a scientific paper and can develop a research question based on prior research.
