Semester 4: Thesis (cohort 2024)

On these pages we publish information relevant for the Thesis phase (the 4th Semester) of the Cartography MSc.
To do in the coming time [complete timeline here]:
  • The thesis semester 4 has started. You are busy with your supervisor preparing your Extended Research Proposal (ERP). What is an ERP, actually? See some explanation and examples of last year here...
  • The deadline for the ERP is: 17 April. Make sure you use the template (see ERP info) and send the file to your TAB (chair, supervisor(s) and reviewer), with a cc to the thesis coordinator Barend Köbben m-carto-itc@utwente.nl (BTW: for your presentation you do not have to use a specific template).
  • The ERP defence sessions will be: 27 Apr:TUD, 28 Apr: TUW, 29 Apr: TUW (morning) + TUM (afternoon), 30 Apr: TUM + UT. You will receive the exact timetable from your University's local coordinator. Prepare yourself by creating a 10 minute presentation and make sure you know the procedure: check the Procedural Handbook. In it you can find the defence procedures, and your tasks and responsibilities. Also, the roles of the supervisors and reviewers are explained.
