Semester 4: Thesis (cohort 2023)

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 now 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...
  • Start-up/introduction events are being/have been organised. Dates and setup will be different for the four partners. Check out the menu below for links to specific information per University.
  • The deadline for the ERP is: 25 April. Make sure you used 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).
  • The ERP defence sessions will be: 5 May:TUD+TUM, 6 May: TUM, 7 May: TUW, 8 May: TUW, 9 May: 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.
