Thesis and maturity test in master's and licentiate programmes

Thesis and thesis plan

As part of the advanced studies in the Master's Programme, you will prepare a written thesis of 30 credits in scope. If you study in the fields of medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine, your written thesis is 20 credits in scope.

In the thesis, you must demonstrate your familiarity with the thesis topic, mastery of the necessary research methods, the ability to think scientifically and proficiency in academic writing. The thesis workload, including the collection and processing of the research material as well as the writing process, corresponds approximately to one term of full-time study.

Before embarking on the thesis project, or at its initial stages at the latest, you must draft a thesis plan, which will be discussed and approved in the manner specified in the degree programme curriculum. The plan must also indicate the supervisor(s) of the thesis.

You can complete the thesis independently or in a group or a wider research project, provided that your independent input can be clearly demonstrated and easily assessed. You can also complete the thesis as a commission. However, write your thesis independently. You can write the thesis as pair work with a fellow student only if your degree programme has separately decided to allow this. In such cases, the independent contribution of both students must be clearly demonstrable. 

You should write your thesis in academic language.

Please select your degree programme to see the schedules for submitting and assessing your thesis. Please note that if you submit your thesis for assessment and your graduation request latest on 31st of July, you will graduate retroactively during the spring term. If you are liable to pay for tuition you will not need to be attending or pay for tuition for the following autumn term.

Thesis template and abstract

To ensure the accessibility of the thesis file, you can use the text styles contained in the University of Helsinki template and follow the instructions provided in the template. However, make sure your faculty and degree program's thesis guidelines before using the template. When the Word file is in order for accessibility, you can also easily create an accessible PDF file.

If using the LaTeX typesetting system for your thesis file, the PDF file created will not be accessible. This is because of a current lack of code entries. Consequently, we recommend that you save in the publication repository not only a PDF file, but also the thesis source code.

The thesis includes an abstract written in the language of the thesis. In addition, students who have completed their secondary education in Finnish or Swedish must write an abstract in the language of their secondary education if the abstract also serves as a maturity test with which the student demonstrates their proficiency in Finnish or Swedish. You can use the University's abstract document (a word document). Fill in the needed information on each line and write your abstract at the end. The length of the abstract is usually 1 page. The degree programmes and/or faculties can give more detailed instructions in the matter, please see also the degree programme-specific instructions. Attached is also a model document as a pdf. If needed, you can write the abstract also in other word processing programmes with the help of the model document. Include your abstract in the thesis file.

If you give permission to publish your thesis in the University's open publication repository, please make sure the document is in an accessible format. See instructions on how to create accessible documents.

Assessment

Your thesis will be assessed on a scale of 0–5. The assessment is conducted in Finnish, Swedish or English. Your thesis will be assessed by two examiners. The dean approves your thesis and assess it based on the opinion given by the examiners. The date of completion of your thesis is the date on which you submitted your thesis for assessment.

If you are dissatisfied with your grading, you can lodge an appeal with the University’s Academic Appeals Board. Read more on the page Legal protection of students.

The schedules for submitting, assessing and approving master’s theses during the 2025–2026 academic year are as follows: Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Social Sciences

*NB. For students in the International Masters in Economy, State and Society (IMESS) programme the final deadline to submit thesis is 26.5.2026

The completed thesis must be submitted for assessment by 23.59 (Finnish time) on the submission deadline. The schedules do not apply to master’s theses completed in international joint degree programmes. 

No supervision and feedback are provided in July, unless required in a given faculty or master’s programme. 

If the thesis is the only uncompleted component of your studies, you can submit a graduation request on the same date. The submission date for the graduation request appears as the date of the degree certificate. If you submit your graduation request during the weekend or holiday, the graduation date will be the next working day.

• If you submit your thesis after the last submission deadline in December 2025 and before 1 January 2026, the date of thesis completion will be recorded as 1 January 2026. Your thesis will be assessed and approved in accordance with the first schedule for 2026. You cannot graduate in 2025, even if you have submitted a graduation request in 2025. You must register for attendance in connection with your right to study for the spring term 2026 as well as pay the Student Union fee and the FSHS healthcare fee for the spring term 2026.
• If you submit both your completed thesis for assessment and a graduation request by 31 July 2026 you can graduate during the 2025–2026 academic year.

For instructions on how to submit a graduation request, see the graduation instructions.

As of 1 August 2025, before submitting your master’s thesis, you must register for the submission of the thesis and the maturity test in Sisu.

You can then submit the final version of your master’s thesis into the new E-thesis. Check the submission deadline from the schedules for supervising, submitting, assessing and approving master’s theses.

When you have saved your thesis in E-thesis, it will be passed on for assessment. Your thesis will no longer be editable. You will receive confirmation of a successful submission by email and you can track the progress of the assessment in the system.

Read the user instructions for the redesigned E-thesis.  

Master’s thesis

The requirements for a master’s degree include a written master’s thesis, usually consisting of an empirical section and its critical examination using literature related to the research topic. The thesis may also be based solely on literature or other scientific source material. Before starting to write their master’s thesis, students must always draft a separate written thesis plan (word) which must be approved by the degree programme. The overall scope of a master’s thesis is 30 credits, which means that it can be completed in one term when working full-time (approximately four to five months of work, some 20 to 40 pages and 40 to 50 sources, unless it is a literature-based thesis, in which case there are usually far more sources). The thesis must be analytical and focused on the topic, primarily following the style requirements for academic articles. Furthermore, the thesis must observe a consistent system of referencing, on which degree programmes will provide detailed instructions. Even if a master’s thesis is part of a larger research project, students must ensure when devising the master’s thesis plan that it will be possible to complete the thesis in accordance with the scope described in these instructions.

Master’s theses are primarily intended to familiarise students with research work within a given timeframe. The chief supervisor must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent qualifications, the other supervisors, if any, must hold at least a Master’s degree.

Principles of research ethics

Master’s theses must be planned and written in observance of the principles of research ethics, which should be ensured already at the planning stage, for example if the aim is to use animal testing. The Committee for the Ethical Review of Human Sciences does not handle Master's theses. Supervisors of undergraduate theses are responsible for ensuring that theses comply with ethical principles.  It is recommended that theses should avoid research designs in the human sciences that would require ethical peer review. If this kind of permission is needed the license or the decision / permission number should be mentioned in the supervision plan. If personal data is handled in the research project, it is necessary to clarify with the supervisor already in the planning phase of the work how the data protection principles of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be implemented.

Further information on the research ethics principles of the University of Helsinki is available through following links:

• University  of Helsinki, research ethics
• Board for Gene Technology
• Animals in research
• Students can also get acquainted with the use of laboratory animals by attending the course NEU-603 Laboratory Animal Science Design
• Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare/ Ethics committee
• Information on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Research ethical issues must be examined in accordance with common publishing practices in the thesis part material, acquisition of material and analyses (assessment of thesis, section 3).

Writing and language of the thesis 

The master’s thesis can be conducted independently or by participating in a research group or a broader research project. The work must include independent input by the student that can be clearly demonstrated and assessed, and the thesis itself must be independently written. If a degree programme has made a separate decision and instructions on the matter, the master’s thesis can be written as pair work with a fellow student. In such cases, the independent contribution of both students must be clearly demonstrable. Further information on this is available in the degree programme's own instructions. 

The thesis must be written in a language specified in the language guidelines of the University of Helsinki (Rector’s Decision 45/2016, 27 April 2016). As a rule, students write their master’s thesis in the same language as they have chosen as their degree language (Finnish or Swedish), but they can also write it in English. Those completing master’s degree in English, without exception, write their master’s thesis in English. The language of the thesis will be recorded in the master’s thesis plan, to be approved as part of the plan. 

If AI language models are used to produce the thesis, the student must indicate in writing in the thesis which model(s) have been used and in what way (for more information, please read Using AI to support learning).

Students can begin writing their thesis and gain approval for their master’s thesis plan only after being admitted to a master’s programme. At least one supervisor must be appointed to the thesis. Detailed requirements concerning the selection of thesis topics and supervisors are provided by the degree programmes.

The degree programmes have one or more members of their teaching and research staff serving as responsible person(s) for master’s theses and their assessment. Details on the responsible person(s), as well as instructions on thesis layout, drafting a research plan and the system of referencing are provided in programme-specific instructions. These specific instructions are available in the instructions for students under the student’s personal degree programme.

Master’s thesis plan and obligation of the responsible person for the thesis

A master thesis plan is drawn up and must be approved by the programme before the thesis can be carried out. The plans shall be drawn up by using the thesis plan form (word) The plan will be signed by the responsible person for the theses in the degree programme, the student and the supervisor(s). The plan is processed and archived in the degree programme as determined separately by the programme. The supervisor and student are responsible for ensuring that the responsible person for the thesis is informed of the completion of the thesis in time to appoint examiners.

There are separate instructions for writing a thesis in cooperation with an employer.

By signing the plan, the responsible person for the theses in the degree programme approves the thesis topic and confirms that the research equipment and work facilities needed for the work will be at the student’s disposal. Furthermore, the responsible person approves the thesis supervisor(s). The responsible person for the theses in the degree programme may also be appointed as a supervisor. If the responsible person for the thesis is appointed as chief supervisor, the programme must appoint another person as the responsible person for the thesis and in this role he/she will sign the supervision plan and appoint two examiners for this thesis. 

The validity of the master’s thesis plan will also be determined in the plan. The validity of the plan can be extended to the next term, counted from the term in which it was made, and it can be valid for a maximum of nine months. If the plan expires before the student has submitted his/her thesis for examination, the plan must be submitted again for approval by the supervisors and the responsible person for the theses in the degree programme. Short extensions to the deadline may be agreed upon with the responsible person for the purposes of, for example, adding final touches to the writing. The validity must be determined in such a manner that the student has a reasonable time to acquire material for the thesis, conduct the necessary analyses and write the actual thesis. If the student submits the thesis for examination before the validity of the plan expires, the supervisor’s responsibility to supervise will end on that day when the thesis is submitted.

If the topic or supervisor of the master’s thesis changes, or the student’s/supervisor’s personal situation changes so that the thesis cannot be completed in accordance with the original master’s thesis plan, the student must update the plan. If the recorded term of the plan expires and no new plan has been approved, the supervisor is no longer obligated to carry on with his/her supervisory responsibilities.

Master’s thesis abstract

Master’s theses must be accompanied by a separate abstract. The abstract must be written in the language of the thesis, in addition to which it is recommended to write an English-language version of the abstract. Students whose native language is Finnish or Swedish and who write their thesis in English or another language must also write an abstract in their native language, and translate the title of the thesis into their native language. The abstract must include keywords describing the content of the thesis. The abstract must be written on the University’s abstract form (word) (also see attached a model document as a pdf).

When writing the abstract, the author must assume that the readers have a general understanding of the topic. However, the abstract must be understandable to readers when read independently of the thesis. The abstract must also be written in full sentences, not as a list of subheadings. The abstract should not include references, quotations, information or claims not included in the thesis itself.

The abstract should indicate, among other things, the purpose and objectives of the thesis, the research method and materials used, central research results and related conclusions, as well as the potential need for further research. The thesis supervisor(s) must also be stated in the abstract form.

Master’s theses are public documents. The actual thesis to be assessed must include no information intended to remain confidential under the Act on the Openness of Government Activities (621/1999) (e.g., business or professional secrets). Such information, if any, must be included only in the background material of the thesis. Assessment of the thesis, however, is based on its public content.

Duties and obligations of the supervisor and the student

Responsibility for the progress of the work rests primarily with the student, who is expected to stay in regular contact with the supervisor. The supervisor must read the various versions of the thesis manuscript, provide feedback, offer advice on academic writing and correct factual errors. The supervisor is also responsible for providing help in the planning stage, as well as steering the experimental stage, the acquisition of material and the use of methods. The student can also use completed data that has been collected earlier as material for the thesis. The duties of the supervisor do not, however, include carrying out analyses or determinations on behalf of the student. After the student’s plan has been approved, he/she has committed to cooperating with the supervisor according to the agreed schedule. The student must discuss and agree on the stages of the work and responsibilities related to the process with the supervisor(s). These will be recorded in the master’s thesis plan. A supervisor from outside the faculty or the Biological and Environmental Sciences is expected to familiarize with the faculty’s instructions for the thesis and examination of the thesis, the assessment areas (described below) and the grading criteria in the assessment matrix (pdf). Moreover, in these cases it is advisable to include at least one supervisor from within the faculty.  

Examination of the master’s thesis

Students must submit their completed master’s thesis for examination by storing the thesis in a digital system (E-thesis). Students must have a valid right to pursue a master’s degree in the relevant degree programme. 

The responsible person for the theses in the degree programme will appoint two examiners for the thesis. The minimum requirement for thesis examiners is a doctoral degree or equivalent qualifications. In addition, the disqualification of examiners is governed by sections 27 and 28 of the Administrative Procedure Act (434/2003). In order to consistently apply the grading scale, among other reasons, it is recommended that at least one of the examiners is from the student’s Faculty or degree programme. Examiners must complete the thesis assessment through a digital system (E-thesis).

Persons who are not experts in the field of the research in question can be appointed as examiners if they have broad experience and perception of this branch of science in general. The supervisor cannot act as an examiner in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, except in the Master's programme in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability (ECGS) (a joint programme with two other faculties), where the supervisor may also act as an examiner for justified reasons.

When examining a pedagogical master’s theses at least one examiner should be familiar with the pedagogical discipline.

Examiners base their assessment on the sections included in the assessment matrix (pdf). The assessment statement may be written in Finnish, Swedish or English. For those students whose native language is not Finnish or Swedish, the examiners must write their assessment in English. When writing their assessment, the examiners should ensure that its contents correspond with the proposed grade. The time schedule decided by the rector must be followed in the assessment and approvement procedure. Assessments must be stored in the digital system. 

Master’s thesis assessment and grading criteria

In their statements, the master’s thesis examiners will assess areas 1 to 6, while the supervisor will assess area 7. When examining master’s theses, the following aspects are considered, but the final grade is not an arithmetic mean of the grades given for each area: 

1. Thesis objective and research questions
2. Scholarly framework and use of sources
3. Research data and method
4. Presentation of thesis results
5. Discussion and conclusions
6. The thesis as an academic text
7. Work during the thesis process

Master’s theses are graded on a scale of 0 to 5. Grading criteria are described in a separate assessment matrix (pdf). 

A thesis with results that prove inadequate for reasons unrelated to the writer can be approved if the empirical section is completed as planned, the use of material is appropriate, and the scientific approach used in the reporting is acceptable. 

The examiners must draft their statements so that they consider all the main points of the thesis and include justification based on the matrix for the proposed grade. Examiners base their assessment on the sections included in the assessment matrix. The examiners are expected to familiarise themselves with the assessment matrix in accordance with the instructions. When writing their assessment, the examiners should ensure that its contents correspond to the proposed grade. 

Pedagogical master’s theses

Students who are completing studies required to qualify as a subject teacher may write a pedagogical master’s thesis focused on themes such as research concerned with pupils, students, teachers or subject teacher students, or the production and testing of teaching material/methods in school or university studies. Pedagogical master’s theses must observe the faculty’s general guidelines on master’s theses. The pedagogical master’s thesis must have a connection to the discipline of the degree programme. At least one of the supervisors must be able to offer pedagogical guidance or if not, it must be described in the thesis plan how the pedagogical guidance is arranged. It is advisable to include at least one examiner with experience in pedagogical master’s theses or training in pedagogy in the thesis assessment process. 

Guidelines for pedagogical master's thesis (pdf).

Master’s thesis processing

Decisions on approving master’s theses and their grading are made by the Dean of the faculty.  For the grading decision, the Dean is provided with the examiners’ statements and grade proposal. If expert examiners have differing views on the grade, the responsible person will make a reasoned grade proposal. The student will be notified of the grade proposal approximately a week before a decision on approving the thesis and the grade will be made.

Schedules for assessing and approving master's theses during 2024–2025

The student may submit a written request for the suspension of the grading process before the Dean decides on the grade. This will cancel grading procedures. The suspension must be requested in writing (viikki-student@helsinki.fi) no later than 12.00 noon the day before the thesis is to be approved by the Dean. The student may relaunch the examination process by submitting the amended thesis for examination after having contacted the responsible person for the thesis.

If the student requests that the grading process be discontinued, the master’s thesis cannot be approved or graded. However, the student should bear in mind that interruption of the grading process may prolong the time needed to approve and assess the master’s thesis.

In requesting to discontinue the grading process, the student essentially accepts the issues that the examiners raised in their statements. In this sense the interruption differs from an appeal to dispute a grade submitted after the approval and assessment of the thesis, which implies that the student disagrees with the examiners’ statements.

The examiners are under no obligation to provide further information regarding the issues raised in the written statements or to offer the student guidance or advice on amending the thesis.

Relaunching of the grading process requires that the thesis be submitted as a new work to be assessed by expert examiners. For this to be the case, the thesis must be significantly rewritten (text revision), or the student must have supplemented or replaced empirical material in the thesis to such a degree that the conclusions drawn in the thesis change or the material supporting them becomes significantly stronger (revision of the scientific content). When the student has requested the grading process to be discontinued the supervisor(s) is/are no longer obligated to carry on with his/her supervisory responsibilities.

Once the student has resubmitted the master’s thesis for examination after the grading process has been discontinued, the responsible person of the programme may appoint the same examiners for the thesis or new examiners. The student should be aware that if the only corrections made to the thesis consist of amendments to details raised by the examiners, this does not mean that the corrections will result in a higher grade. When submitting the amended theses for assessment, the grade may also be lower than the previous grade.

A student dissatisfied with the Faculty Council’s grading decision may appeal to the Academic Appeals Board in accordance with section 56 of the Regulations on Degrees and the Protection of Students’ Rights. The Dean decides on the response to be submitted to the Academic Appeals Board. 

The Faculty Council decides on the guidelines and principles for the assessment of master's theses. The Faculty Council monitors the number of theses graded each semester, the distribution of grades, the number of appeals and the number of students who have graduated. Also, the Steering Boards of the Master’s programmes monitor information on approved master’s theses regularly.

Maturity test

The requirements for a master’s degree include a written maturity test, which is intended to demonstrate familiarity with the topic and content of the master’s thesis. The written maturity test is made as a separate examination (essay task(s)) in Examinarium, due to Artificial Intelligence. Details on organising and completing the maturity test are separately announced in degree programme instructions.

A maturity test is a scholarly text related to the field of your thesis, such as a part of the thesis or its abstract, or another piece of written work defined in the curriculum of your degree programme.

The maturity test demonstrates your familiarity with the field of your thesis.

Maturity tests are graded on a pass–fail basis. The person marking and approving a maturity test is usually a teacher in the degree programme (e.g., your thesis supervisor). The person approving a maturity test must be proficient in the language of the test.

A maturity test is an independent study attainment, but it is recorded in the student information system as having a scope of 0 credits.

Please note that the use of artificial intelligence in maturity tests is never allowed. Read more on the page Using AI to support learning.

The language of your maturity test depends on whether you completed one for your bachelor’s degree and on the language of your secondary education.

The language of your secondary education was Finnish or Swedish:

• If the language of your secondary education was Finnish or Swedish and your bachelor’s degree included a maturity test completed in that language, you can complete your maturity test at the master’s level in Finnish, Swedish, English or the language of your thesis. If you are studying in an English-language master’s programme or in a multilingual master’s programme so that your degree language is English, you must complete a maturity test in English. You no longer need to demonstrate your language skills through the maturity test, but must demonstrate your familiarity with the field of your thesis.
• If the language of your secondary education was Finnish or Swedish, but your bachelor’s degree included no maturity test in that language (e.g., you completed your bachelor’s degree outside Finland), you must complete a maturity test in the language of your secondary education. In doing so, you demonstrate both your language skills and your familiarity with the field of your thesis. This also applies to those studying in an English-language master’s programme or pursuing an English-language degree in a multilingual master’s programme. In the above cases, see the other language studies required for your degree.

The language of your secondary education was not Finnish or Swedish:

• If the language of your secondary education was not Finnish or Swedish or you completed your secondary education in a country other than Finland and are studying in a Finnish- or Swedish-language master’s programme or in a multilingual master’s programme in Finnish or Swedish, you can complete a maturity test in Finnish, Swedish, English or the language of your thesis. In doing so, you demonstrate your familiarity with the field of your thesis.
• If the language of your secondary education was not Finnish or Swedish or you completed your secondary education outside Finland and are studying in an English-language master’s programme or in a multilingual master’s programme in English, you must complete a maturity test in English. In doing so, you demonstrate your familiarity with the field of your thesis.

If the master’s thesis abstract is used in your master’s programme as a maturity test, you can find out in the zip file using the attached electronic form the language in which you must or may complete the maturity test and the language or languages of the abstract(s) that you are required to include in your master's thesis.

EEB has its own instructions on Master’s thesis, including instructions regarding the structure, formatting, accessibility, formalities and other details. EEB specific thesis instructions are on the Moodle page EEB - Master's Thesis (EEB-006) Portal. The Moodle area is open for everyone.

The teacher responsible of master's theses in the Master's Programme in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology is Perttu Seppä.

You can take the Maturity test after you have submitted your master's thesis in the e-thesis system. Please note that if the master's thesis is your last study before examination you must take the Maturity test before or on the same day when submitting your thesis in the e-thesis system.

You can take the test in Examinarium (register in Sisu: VIIKB-001 and choose the course/implementation for your degree programme), or arrange another date for the test with the teacher responsible of master's theses in your master's degree programme.

Public access to theses

Master’s theses included in second-cycle (master’s) degrees are public documents. Their public access is based on the Act on the Openness of Government Activities (621/1999). This means that the University must grant access to theses to anyone upon request.

Public access to theses includes their abstracts.

Secret material and theses

Theses must not include any confidential information, as they are made available to the public immediately following assessment and approval. You can include secret information in the background material, which is not part of the thesis to be assessed.

The Act on the Openness of Government Activities (621/1999) contains provisions on secret official documents. Secret information includes information on private business or commercial activities or a private individual’s health, assets, political convictions or family life.

You cannot include secret material in thesis appendices or abstracts. The thesis supervisor can gain access to secret background material, but must ensure that such material is excluded from the thesis itself. The thesis examiner conducts their assessment based on the student’s written thesis, which must not include secret information. The examiner is not entitled to access secret background material.

Publication of theses

The University of Helsinki recommends the open publication of theses. The abstracts of master’s theses are always public and published in the University’s open Helda repository.

If you permit the publication of your thesis, it will be published in Helda, where it will be available to the general public. Search engines will display resources contained in the publication repository prominently in search results.

If you do not permit the publication of your thesis, it will be available for viewing only on the library terminals of Helsinki University Library.

You must use the E-thesis system, currently available in two versions, to accept or reject the publication of your thesis. 

• If your degree programme uses the old version, you will receive a message about publication permission from the E-thesis system after the approval of your thesis.
• If your degree programme uses the new version, you must accept or reject the publication of your thesis when submitting it for assessment.

If your thesis includes an article published in a journal, or an article based on your thesis is in preparation, it is possible that your thesis cannot be published openly as such. If your article is published in a scholarly journal or other scholarly publication, often its publisher can provide information on the terms and conditions of open publishing. If you require further information on publishing your thesis in the open repository, please send a message to the following email address: e-thesis(at)helsinki.fi.

Delayed publication (embargo)

As a student, you may request a delay in the publication of your thesis in the Helda repository. A need for delayed publication (embargo) may arise, for example, if a thesis has been written in a research group and is closely related to research to be published later. 

Please note, however, that a thesis whose publication has been delayed is still a public document, and access to it must be given to anyone requesting it. Description data (including the abstract) are always public and openly available in Helda. 

An embargoed thesis cannot be viewed in full on the library terminals. If you give permission to publish a thesis which has been embargoed, it will become available in the open repository on the date the embargo ends. Otherwise, your thesis will be available only on library terminals after the end of the embargo.

If the publication of your thesis requires delay, please report this need on the E-thesis form under the item ‘Other notes/Embargo’ when submitting your thesis for assessment. The dean may grant a delay of one year. If studying at the Faculty of Science, please contact the education coordinator for information on embargo needs.
