Master's assignment and graduate procedures

Master's assignment

The last part of the master Applied Physics is usually the master's assignment. To get acces to the Canvas site AP Master's assignment you have to register in OSIRIS. On the Canvas site you can find, besides a lot of other information, all the information about the organisational issues before, during and after finishing your assignment.

Normally you will graduate and get your diploma (certificate) after the presentation of your master's assignment. Therefore a few things have to be arranged first. The final Course list and Application for MSc exam and arrangements are forms that must be handed in for the administrative processing of graduation. 

The university uses Mobility Online for managing all procedures concerning the master's assignment and your diploma. It is a system to register graduation assignments.

Students who did a minor abroad or finished their internship are already familiar with this system.
