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 (LTU) 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
Since LTU is an authority, the university is subject to the principle of public access to official records. This means that the degree project and other submitted/submitted documents become public documents. As a general rule, the degree project is published in its entirety openly and available for everyone to access.
Degree project in collaboration with companies and organisations that reguest confidentiality
Students at LTU have the opportunity to carry out their degree project in collaboration with companies or organisations. In some cases, the company/organisation wants the degree project to be classified because it contains sensitive information. Since LTU is an authority, we have limited opportunities to classify information and documents.
LTU does not sign any confindetiality agreements or similar agreements. Such agreements are concluded between you as a student and the company/organisation. It is therefore important that you as a student have knowledge of the sensitivity of the information and ensure all text that is to be submitted to the client beforehand. Remember to be clear that everything that you as a student submit to the university will probably be disclosed in the event of a request for public documents. Also keep in mind that an agreement entered into between you as a student and a company/organisation may also lead to you not being able to use your degree project freely.
