A student may complete a maximum of 20 ECTS of project work in the Master’s programme, including study abroad, and a maximum of 15 ECTS of project work if a student colloquium (5 ECTS) is also completed.
As a general rule, a Chemical Project (5, 10, 15, or 20 ECTS) must be carried out within one semester, but a 15 or 20 ECTS project may also be spread over two semesters.
In this case, it must be specified in the study contract that the 20 ECTS project is placed in the semester in which the examination takes place. This means that 20 ECTS of other courses must be listed in the first semester, and a total of 40 ECTS (20 ECTS project and 20 ECTS courses) in the following semester. Enrollment in the 20 ECTS project must take place in the semester in which the project is submitted and examined.
There are no requirements regarding the number of pages for the project. This is agreed upon with the supervisor.
The project must be submitted via WISEflow
You are responsible for finding a supervisor yourself and making an agreement with them regarding the project. It does not have to be the same supervisor as for your bachelor's project or thesis.
If you need inspiration, you can take a look here:
You must sign up for the Chemistry Project via mitstudie.au.dk like your regular courses within the registration deadlines. If your project spans 2 semesters, you must sign up for the semester in which you are finishing your project.
Regarding 5 and 10 ECTS projects:
If it is your first project you must choose "Chemistry Project A" (without an oral exam). If it is your second project you must choose "Chemistry Project B" (with an oral exam).
Chemistry Project 15 and 20 ECTS are always with an oral exam.
Chemistry project/student seminar in the spring semester: you must sign a project contract no later than 1st of March
Chemistry project/student seminar in the autumn semester: you must sign a project contract no later than 1st of October
You must enter the mandatory information in the form:
information about the student
name and email address of the supervisor(s)
information about the company (if the project is done in collaboration with a company)
project title (just enter a working title, you can always change it later)
framework of the project (ECTS=10, submission deadline must be agreed upon with supervisor as the project must be assessed before the last day in the exam period)

The deadline for submission
The submission deadline is 1:00 PM at the latest on the date specified in the project contract. This is the date that is set in WISEflow, but you will be able to submit before.
If you wish to change the submission deadline to a later date (upon agreement with your supervisor), you must therefore submit an updated project contract.
However, the submission date must always fall within the examination period, and the assessment must be completed no later than the last day of the examination period.
