Bachelor students in plant science may write a bachelor thesis, as elective credits, on a topic within the field of plant science. The research proposal must be discussed and approved by the student's supervisor.
The bachelor thesis is an independent academic work. Independent gathering and analysis of sources (primary and/or secondary) are key elements. The student may also conduct fieldwork. The student is supervised in developing a research proposal. If the student is conducting fieldwork, it is required that the supervisor approves the research proposal prior to travel to the field.
