There are many advantages to writing a thesis for a company:

• You can grow your network in the corporate world while gaining work experience and completing your studies at the same time
• You are compensated for your thesis. The company should at the least cover the basic costs related to doing the thesis
• You get to solve real-world problems in an organization while developing solutions to products or services 
• You have access to different sources of advice in case you develop “thesis anxiety”
• You get the opportunity to market your knowledge and skills outside the academic world

Information about possible thesis topics can be found online, through your institution and on Hanken’s Job board. However, the most effective way to get a glimpse of potential topics and opportunities is to reach out to employers. 

Whether you found a thesis announcement on the internet or spoke directly with a company, we recommend that you proceed in the following way:

• Prepare yourself well, so that you can deliver a convincing image of your skills and knowledge
• Thesis-writing for a company is a job, so act as professional as you would when looking for one
• Research the company. This way you can propose different topics for your thesis and give the company a positive and engaging impression of you
• Describe why you are interested in writing your thesis specifically for the company in question and what added value you can give. Be open and flexible with potential changes
• Mention if and how you wish to get compensated for your work and find out how your institution manages compensation beforehand. More about this in the section below. 
• Do not promise the employer anything before you have consulted with your thesis supervisor whether your topic and the area of research can be approved for your thesis
• Prepare well even when contacting your institution. Remember the prearranged timetable and perform as good as you can in the thesis. A successful experience with thesis writing might lead to a permanent position at the company at a later stage.

Compensation

The thesis writer can get compensation in the form of wage, a one-of payment or as compensation for costs. Here are some advice and principles that Career Services recommends you and your employer to follow. 

Employment and one-off payment

• Career Services recommends that the student writes an employment contract with the company for which he or she is writing the thesis for. 
• This would mean, inter alia, that the taxation would be the same as for a normal employment
• It is also common to do so-called one-off remunerations

Remuneration for costs

• The thesis writer proposes a cost estimate which is accepted by the employer
• The thesis writer is compensated for material costs including costs of travel if necessary for the thesis
• The employer might offer the possibility to use their office equipment
• The thesis writer provides receipts in conjunction with the invoicing of costs

Master’s thesis remuneration
