Metropolis

Research Thesis

The core project of the Metropolis Program at the level of the Masters Degree is the Thesis, conducted through its own workshop. In the Thesis, each student individually proposes and develops a subject of research that is directed by the Thesis Workshop faculty through its development and final presentation.
Each Thesis reflects the debate and contributions made in the context of the Seminars, Lectures, and Master Class, and therefore is the principal and most valuable outcome of the Program.

Thesis Workshop

At the start of the first year, students submit a brief outline explaining the thematic area and nature of their proposed project. A tutor is subsequently assigned to supervise the thesis project individually and at a group level. In addition to the tutor, students may also work on their project with an external advisor. On completion of the first year, students must present a thesis project in order to obtain the credits corresponding to Thesis Workshop 1.

Independent Study

Students are required to continue their research through the Independent Study between class terms, (between the end of the first year and the beginning of the second) in contact with their tutors during this period. When the second year of the program begins, students must submit a prepared project in order to obtain the credits which correspond to the Independent Study.

Thesis Workshop 2 / Research in Progress

During the second year, students continue their research under the guidance of their tutors until they have completed their thesis. Thesis presentation takes place within the seminar Research in Progress. By the end of the class term, students should present the final text. If the final presentation is postponed, a new registration is required for the following term.
