Ideas for a topic and tips on using the library

How to find a topic for your thesis

  1. Go back to the literature for the courses that you had on your Master's programme and get inspired - then search the library (see below) to see if this is a topic for which you can find research articles.
  2. Visit the Jobbank to find thesis proposals from firms and other organizations. If you find an interesting offer, then check whether it is suitable for your profile and if you can get an academic angle onto the proposal.
  3. Get inspired by looking at theses from this and other universities. Find them at the library (see below). 

Library resources
Remember to visit the library. Here you can look at the best materials, get access to electronic books and articles, and borrow books!

Each semester we will offer you various workshops ”Find literature for your next paper”. Here we will help you find the best literature for your Master Thesis. See dates and more information on Courses and Events.

You can start your literature search at https://mitsdu.dk/en/bibliotek. Here you can search for articles, books and other materials.

You can also search theses from SDU and other universities Theses.
Notice that most of the theses written in collaboration with a company are very often confidential and thus the author does not permit use of the material.

And you can search for scientific peer reviewed articles in databases covering your topic. Find the Databases(Social Sciences – Economics).
