Doing a degree project at your department
A degree project can look different depending on the institution to which your program belongs. Below you will find the common guidelines for independent work.
Luleå University of Technology has established common guidelines for independent work (degree project). These show the minimum requirements set, but do not replace the requirements set by each individual course.
Confidentiality in degree projects
- The main rule for degree projects at LTU is that these in their entirety must be openly published and available for everyone to take part in.
- If the company/organisation has informed you that they wish to classify information in your degree project as confidential, the company/organisation must submit this form "Request for confidentiality" to the registrar (registrator@ltu.se).
- Request for confidentiality.docx External link.
- For a degree project where a request for confidentiality has been submitted, only abstracts will be published in DiVA. If someone wants to read a confidential degree project, it can be requested and will then be subject to a confidentiality assessment.
- The university never signs a confidentiality agreement (neither through the head of department, supervisor nor examiner) when students are to carry out a degree project. However, as a student, you can sign a confidentiality agreement on your own behalf against a company or an organisation, which is an agreement that the university has neither insight into nor responsibility for.
