The process

Explore the projects at the thesis market
The projects are presented at the thesis market at IT University of Copenhagen, usually in the last week of August.
Visit our booth
Come by the Maritime Hub booth to learn more about the projects and ask any questions about signing up.
Sign up online
You can sign up for up to three projects. Rank them as your first, second and third choice. Sign up here.
Receive your project offer
Maritime Hub assigns students to projects within one week of the thesis market.
Accept or decline within 48 hours
Once you receive an offer, you have 48 hours to accept or decline it.
Find your supervisor
We can suggest possible supervisors, but it is up to you to find and agree on a supervisor.
Write your problem statement
Together with your supervisor, formulate your project's problem statement and hand it in by the deadline, typically at the end of September. If useful, you can also arrange an intro meeting with the industry contact.
