Course syllabus

Welcome to ACEX30 study year 2024/2025!

This Canvas page (ACEX30) serves as the joint course page for 30 and 60 ECTS master’s theses (ACEX30 and ACEX60) at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE). It provides important information on rules, processes, and requirements for MSc projects at ACE. Students and examiners should refer to this page for guidance. All students performing an MSc thesis project with an examiner at ACE must register for ACEX30 or ACEX60. Hence, students from all master’s programmes at Chalmers are welcome.

The guidelines here align with the general information about Master's thesis work at Chalmers, but somewhat adapted to the studies and work conditions at ACE. Note that certain practicalities may differ between the master’s programmes. If discrepancies arise, follow your programme’s specific instructions.
