    \n
  • When a student is commissioned to do a Bachelor\u2019s thesis to an organisation the latter should pay an appropriate remuneration for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When a student completes a Master\u2019s thesis as an employee, the recommendation for a monthly salary is 2 900 euros during the thesis work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When remuneration for a commissioned Master\u2019s thesis is not paid as a monthly salary, the recommendation for such remuneration is 6 500 euros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, if the thesis involves a large or fairly large study project, which in itself benefits the contractor, the additional work conducted for the study part should be taken into account in the lump sum remuneration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
