More than 60 master students of the IMK, their friends and familie members gathered together to celebrate the most important milestone in the master studies: submission of master thesis. Head of Department Maria Utheim welcomed everybody to the gathering:
- Master's thesis is a solid and independent research project and all of you have spent a lot of time and resources on this project. Today we would like to cheer all of you who have spent two years towards your goal - and this goal is finally reached, said Utheim.
Such a good feeling
The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed. The event was attended by students from the Master program in Media Studies, Nordic Media and Journalism.
Many of the IMK's students have already full time jobs, while others are just entering the job market. However, today everybody agreed on one thing: it is good to be through with the master thesis!
Profession in high demand
