The quotation resembles the general requirements to a masters degree in Denmark as well. There's no requirement of original work beyond demonstrating that you're familiar with topic and material with something resembling an independant thought process. You could say that the uniqueness of the presentation is, or can be, the actual research. Without reading the thesis in question, I suspect that it'll result in a master at any Danish university judging by the approach alone. Regards, Mogens
