WEEKEND THESIS UNDERTAKING

27.-29.10., Kortepohja Student Village, Building R, Common room
Weekend Thesis Undertaking is a weekend dedicated to writing your thesis. Why? Because peer pressure works! So take your laptop with you, come to the common room in the R-building in Kortepohja, meet others who are also battling with their Master’s or Bachelor’s thesis, set a goal for the weekend and share it with the others. Then just get to work!
