Writing your master’s thesis this spring? Let us follow your journey!

Students in a lab

We’d love to give others a better sense of what it’s really like to work on a master’s thesis at SLU. That’s why we’re looking for a few students who are happy to let us follow their thesis journey during the spring semester – from the first steps to the final hand-in.

The assignment

As part of the assignment, you’ll:

  • write short updates about how things are going
  • take photos and/or film moments from your work

Your material will mainly be shared on SLU’s social media channels – with some longer posts on LinkedIn and shorter updates in our other channels. It may also appear on the SLU website.

The assignment starts when the spring semester begins and runs until the end of the term. If you finish your thesis a bit later, we’ll gladly do a follow-up post then.

Scope: around 20 hours in total
Pay: 150 SEK per hour

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who:

  • is studying on one of SLU’s master’s programmes
  • will be writing their master’s thesis this spring
  • is curious and happy to share glimpses of student life

Experience with filming or social media is a plus, but not a must.

How to apply

Send an email to some@slu.se and:

  • briefly describe the focus of your upcoming master’s thesis and any activities you are planning.
  • tell us why it would be interesting to follow your journey this spring

Please also include:

  • your first and last name
  • which programme you’re studying

Application deadline: 15 December.

We will review the applications once the deadline has passed and expect to get back to you with a decision by 15 January at the latest.

Questions?

If you have any questions, just email us at some@slu.se – we’re happy to help.

We look forward to hearing from you!
