Bachelor thesis.

The Bachelor Thesis Project ( MBLS-399 ) is considered to be the capstone project of your study where you will put all acquired academic skills to the test. Most students do their Bachelor Thesis Project at the end of their programme, but you are allowed to start in any other period as soon as you have obtained 120 ECs, and have passed all MBLS mandatory courses.

What is asked of you:

• You will be embedded in the research environment of your first examiner to execute your bachelor thesis project.
• You collect and critically read scientific literature on a specific topic, conduct experiments to answer a research question, interpret experimental data, draw conclusions, propose new experiments, and communicate your findings to others.
• You will experience how it is to do research and to be part of a research group.

1) Find your own Bachelor Thesis Project

You as a student are responsible to find a Bachelor Thesis Project by contacting group leaders from research groups to inquire about the internship possibilities.

To find the bachelor thesis project of your liking we suggest you ask yourself these questions: 

• Which topic in modern-day Life Sciences inspires me the most? 
• Which course and researcher/teacher inspired me? 
• Which research and research environments fits best with one of the four MBLS profile I like the most?  
• Which Master’s programme would I like to pursue and/or which career perspective do I ambition?
• Visit the U.L.S.V. Amino sessions to get informed about the research labs and internship positions.
• What did my tutor advise me? Remember that your tutor is your personal coach. Make use of this!

It also helps to browse websites of our own research institutes and labs closely linked to MBLS, but also other research facilities on our Utrecht Science Park , and research labs elsewhere in the Netherlands, or even abroad. Below we provide several links which can help in your search. 

Research facilities on the Utrecht Science Park closely linked to MBLS:

• Science 4 Life  
• Institute of Biodynamics & Biocomplexity  
• Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research
• Institute of Environmental Biology
• Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences  
• Experimental (bio)physics groups within the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials
• Research groups in the Life Sciences at the University Medical Center Utrecht  

2) Look at the format MBLS Bachelor Thesis Project

An mbls thesis project is 15 ec (10 wks, full-time) and should include:.

• The project should lie within the scope of Molecular Life Sciences.
• The Bachelor Thesis Project can be done at the Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, or Faculty of Veterinary Medicine ( internal project ), but also outside the UU at another university in the Netherlands or abroad or even in a Biotech / pharmaceutical company ( external project ).
• You conduct the bachelor thesis project individually*
• 5-7 weeks of practical research work, which can be done in a laboratory, but also in the bioinformatics / data sciences.
• 3-5 weeks of reading/writing/(literature) analysis
• A single report formatted as a research paper. A literature study can be part of the thesis project (this is the standard at biology). If this is the case, it should address a question that is closely related to the research topic and be integrated into the text of the report ( e.g as extended introduction)
• A final presentation in the research group of about 15-20 min including discussion.
• Your grades are determined by your first examiner / supervisor, and the second examiner (only the writing part), who will be appointed by the MBLS BachelorThesis Coordinator.
• The final grade is the weighted average of the practical work (50%), report (40%), and presentation (10%). In order to pass all partial grades should be ≥ 5.5.

*Depending on the capacity of certain research groups within the Biology Department or when you apply for a project within a Research Hub (Biotechnology Hub and/or Biomedical Research Project) it may be that you work together in a small groups of students on a similar project (max 3, preferably 2), but are still guided by one supervisor. However, each individual student addresses an individual research question and delivers an written report and/or literature thesis.

3) Apply for a bachelor research project

Once you have found an internship, you start the application procedure. The group leader, who is a faculty staff member ( Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor ) will be your first examiner and supervisor . Make sure to inform them about the MBLS Thesis format (see below), which is also on the cover page of the application form.

Follow these steps:

• Download the application form [Word file] and together with the first examiner fill in all required fields.
• You as a student send the application form as a word file to [email protected] .
• The MBLS thesis coordinator reviews the application form and the topic that will be investigated for final approval.
• Once the application is approved, the MBLS thesis coordinator assigns a second examiner, adds this second examiner to the application form, and initiates the signing procedure for all parties using the Valid Sign app.
• Once the application form is signed, the MBLS thesis coordinator informs all parties by email and requests the MBLS student desk to register the student for the MBLS-399 course (Bachelor Thesis Project) in Osiris.

4) Finalize and assess the Bachelor Thesis project

Once your first examiner agreed with the final version of your report, the assessment procedure (see steps below) starts.

• After approval from  your first examiner, send the final version of your report in one email to first examiner and second examiner (check your application form), and include Bachelor Thesis coordinator [email protected] in cc.
• Make sure your first examiner has all the necessary forms to finalise the bachelor thesis project; assessment form first-examiner [Word file]; rubrics to provide feedback [pdf]; and if needed instructions for the plagiarism check in Urkund .
• The first examiner and second examiner need to send their assessment form to the bachelor thesis coordinator [email protected] .
• The Bachelor thesis coordinator will coordinate the signing of the final assessment (by the first and second examiner), will inform all parties (student, first and second examiner, student desk) about the completion of the bachelor thesis, and will add the final grade in Osiris.
• ESPECIALLY FOR PERIOD 4: FRIDAY 16 th AUGUST 2024 IS THE FINAL DATE TO SUBMIT THE BACHELOR THESIS GRADE IN OSIRIS IN ORDER TO GRADUATE BEFORE AUGUST 31 st 2024!
• To graduate during the remainder of the year, student desk performs graduation checks every month around the 15 th . When your bachelor thesis grade (or from another course) is registered in Osiris before the 15 th , you will officially graduate by the end of that month.  
• The upcoming MBLS graduation ceremonies are on Thursday 26 th September 2024, and Thursday 13 th March 2025

Download the Rubrics

It is recommended to download the Rubrics [pdf] of the Bachelor Thesis Project at the start of your project to learn what is expected from you. We also recommend to organise an informal midterm meeting with your first examiner about your progress and your functioning. You can use the Rubrics as a guideline for this meeting. During the project make sure you adhere to the timelines and deadlines you agreed upon with your first supervisor.

Remember, your bachelor thesis project is in principle 15 EC,  so the 10 weeks include the research, the report writing, and your final presentation.

Economics and Business Economics

Study programme.

Economics and Business Economics is a three-year English-language programme. Each academic year is divided into four ten-week teaching periods. The programme consists of two parts: the major and the optional course profile. For the first year and a half you focus on the core courses (the major). Later in the programme, you can tailor your studies to suit your interests. You can do this by taking specific electives, taking more economics courses, a dedicated minor, do an internship or study abroad.

What does the study programme look like?

Below you will find an overview of the Economics and Business Economics study programme. Each year consists of four periods of ten weeks, in which you take eight subjects in total.

Introduction to Economics and Business Economics

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the various economic fields by investigating these fields in their historical and methodological context. This course introduces you to the linkages between these different fields and to other social sciences. In this way, this overview will provide a reflection of the bachelor’s curriculum – the way it is built up and how the several courses are connected.

More information about  Introduction to Economics and Business Economics .

Introduction to Finance and Accounting

This course covers the basics of finance and accounting. Students will be introduced to concepts such as the time value of money, discounting and the relationship between risk and return. Students are encouraged to analyze financial statements of real world companies to gain practical insight into the fields of finance and accounting.

More information about  Introduction to Finance and Accounting .

Microeconomics, Institutions and Welfare

Students commence this course by performing a supply and demand analysis. Supply and demand are then substantiated through consumer theory and the theory of business. The subject of perfect and imperfect competition is also discussed.

More information about  Microeconomics, Institutions and Welfare .

Mathematics for Economists

As an economist you will need mathematics to examine the interaction between various quantities. The optimisation of functions takes centre stage. This involves differentiation, solving equations and simplification.

More information about  Mathematics for Economists .

Macroeconomics: European Perspective

You will study economic phenomena on a national or global scale. You will analyse GNP, unemployment and inflation in the short and long term based on theory and data.

More information about  Macroeconomics: European Perspective .

Statistics offers us the opportunity to test relationships between variables applying statistical methods. You will be familiar with this if you studied Mathematics A at secondary school.

More information about  Statistics .

Strategy and Organisation

This course provides a general introduction to organisation theory and business strategy problems and topics. You will look at the pros and cons of the various strategies and will learn how large companies behave and why they behave in that manner.

More information about  Strategy and Organisation .

Dedicated minor course 1 or context course (elective)

In the first year you can choose to combine economics with a second field of study in a dedicated minor. You will have your first minor course in period 4. If you decide not to, you can choose one of the following courses: (1)  Economics, Governance and Business Ethics  or (2)  Contemporary Economics in Historical Perspective .

Intermediate Microeconomics, Games and Behaviour

This course investigates consumer and producer behaviour more in-depth. Next to this it includes the analysis of situations where uncertainty, strategically interacting actors (game theory) and asymmetric information play a role.

More information about  Intermediate Micro-Economics, Games and Behaviour .

Corporate Finance and Behaviour

In this course there will be plenary lectures and plenary review sessions. The main focus of the lectures is on knowledge transfer and creating an understanding for the subject.

More information about  Corporate Finance and Behaviour .

Econometrics

Applied Economics Research Course

The Applied Economics Research Course is the concluding third-year full-time course that builds on the knowledge and skills acquired during the economics study. You will write a thesis based on your own research project. Students who follow a dedicated minor do a research project in which two disciplines are combined: economics and the minor of the student's choice. You will finish the bachelor's degree by writing a thesis on your chosen topic.

Teaching methods

During the programme you attend both lectures and tutorials. In a lecture, the tutor discusses a subject with a large group of students explaining its broad outlines. In a tutorial, you discuss a specific topic in a group of up to 30 students. You attend classes for about 12-18 hours a week in the first year and you also carry out assignments. Including preparation and private study, the programme takes up 30-40 hours of your time per week.

Study routes

In the programme you can choose from a broad range of Economics courses enabling you to specialise in topics and perspectives. To help you select those courses that best fit your interests, we have developed different study routes . 

Dedicated minor 

You may opt to combine Economics with a second field of study: a dedicated minor. This is a package of six subjects designed especially for Economics students. You have the choice of a dedicated minor Law, Geography, Social Sciences or Applied Data Science for Economists. In this case, your thesis is at the interface of Economics and your chosen dedicated minor. Your tutor or study adviser will assist you in making the right choice for you.

Internship or study abroad

It is possible to do an internship in your optional course profile. You can opt to undertake  an internship in the Netherlands or abroad. You may also opt to study at a university abroad. Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.) has  several partner universities  abroad. Economics and Business Economics also offers a special exchange programme which enables you to study for a full year at the Italian business school Luiss in Rome:  the Luiss Programme . Read more about the  experiences of our Luiss students .

Assessments

To test your knowledge and skills, you sit examinations, write essays, hold presentations or undertake group assignments. Each period is followed by an examination week. You complete the programme by writing your bachelor thesis.

Grading system

The grading system in the Netherlands might differ significantly from the grading system you are used to. See  here  for more information.

Advising and counselling

When starting the Economics and Business Economics programme you will be assigned an academic mentor for the first year of your study. Your mentor monitors, progresses and signals possible obstacles and can answer any question you may have about the programme. Your is also your tutorial teacher for one of the first courses at U.S.E. In addition to the mentor, U.S.E. has three study advisors. You can approach them for more personal matters.

Binding Study Advice (BSA)

At the end of the first year, you are issued with a  Binding Study Advice  (BSA). To qualify for a positive BSA, you must obtain a minimum of 45 study credits (of the 60 study credits in total) during your first year. If you fail to do so, you must leave the programme. This means that you must pass 6 out of 8 courses.

Bachelor's Thesis

Syllabus, Bachelor's level, 2FE407

General provisions

The course is offered within, e.g., the Bachelor's Programme in Business and Economics and as freestanding course, as part of Business Studies C.

Entry requirements

Completed 30 credits from basic courses (A-level) in business studies, and attended 30 credits intermediate courses (B-level) in business studies and at least 15 credits from intermediate courses (C-level). Exemption: For students admitted to the entire C-level of 30 credits the requirements are: Completed 30 credits from Basic Courses (A-level) in business studies, and attended 30 credits Intermediate Courses (B-level) in business studies of which at least 15 credits must be completed.

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to develop the ability to conduct and report scientific investigations by integrated and advanced independent work. The ability to make scientific investigations includes the ability to discover possibilities, identify problems, collect relevant information, formulate problems, and solve them with the aid of scientific methods. To do this, many skills are required, such as methodological knowledge, the ability to think in terms of models - making conscious and explicit simplifications - and the ability to recognise and treat problems from different perspectives. The ability to report scientific work means being able to write lucid and interesting reports, as well as making oral presentations.

After completion of the course the student should be able to:

• understand different science-theoretical and methodological starting points in Business Studies
• independently and critically examine different theoretical and empirical phenomena
• discover and handle problems and alternatives considering different perspectives and methodological frames of reference
• execute, in practice, scientifically based surveys and investigations
• present arguments orally and in writing in an objective, interesting, and convincing manner.

The course consists of lectures and seminars as well as supervision that aims for the participants, within given conditions and time frames, to try and independently choose ways to identify, delimit and investigate problems, and present analysis results. The work includes problematization, discussions about method and model choices, information gathering, analysis of data, as well as ongoing oral and written presentations of the work in various stages up to the final seminar, where the whole is presented and discussed.

Instruction

The course is taught in Swedish. The major part of the course consists of independent work in teams. Teaching includes seminars, lectures and tutorials. The independent project is normally carried out in groups of two students.

The student will get one single grade, equivalent to 15 credits.

The course is examined primarily by assessing the final version of the thesis and seminar activities in the form of presentation and defence of the thesis, critically scrutinizing and commenting on the work of other participants, and active participation in discussions. In addition, a mandatory quiz on cheating and plagiarism is carried out. Grading criteria are presented in the study guide that applies to the course section. The following grades will be used: VG (pass with distinction), G (pass) and U (fail). The right to supervision ends at the final seminar.

For students who have completed the seminar series but who have not received a passing grade on the thesis, it is possible to submit a revised version of the thesis for re-assessment at later submission opportunities without re-registration. If the seminar series has not been completed within the course, including any complementary tasks in connection with this, the entire course (with all examination elements) must be redone, which can only be done by re-registering at subsequent course sections.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the University's disability coordinator.

Uppsala University does not accept cheating or plagiarism. Suspected incidents of cheating or plagiarism are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, which may issue a formal warning to the student or suspend the student from studies for a certain period.

NOTE: Only completed courses can count toward a degree.
