If you want to boost the reputation of your physics department, that's okay, but irrelevant. In general a thesis lasts 1/2 year. A somewhat recent requirement to make sure that more students finished earlier, ie. within 5 years instead of 6, 7 or more. However, the universities have tried to circumvent that recommendation. Especially in natural science disciplines, including mathematics. In Aalborg, of which I'm familiar, you do a prelimenary theoretical thesis to support your eventual master thesis. So in reality it takes a year. I suspect it takes even longer at Århus. Physics is far from unique in that respect. All that is educational politics and completely irrelevant. >Boy, you haven't been paying much attention then, it was the _standard_ I found >a bit low for a masters thesis. I responded to your incorrect claim about the meaning of a master thesis, ie. the requirement of original science, which is apparent by tracing the thread backwards. I don't care about the standard, because it's none of my business. So much for the good old "I was discussing something else" excuse ;-). Regards, Mogens
