The information differs somewhat depending on the year you started on the programme. For all who experience delays, however, please remember the following:
- Discuss your plans regarding the fieldwork and thesis writing with your supervisor as soon as possible.
- Delays may have consequences for keeping within the required study progression. Contact the administration for advice on whether you should apply for a leave of absence and prolonged enrollment in order to keep your place on the programme. The administration can also help set up a new progress plan.
- If you rely on loans/stipends from L?nekassen or a residence permit from UDI, please contact these institutions directly to be advised on how the delay affects your economy or residence permit. We cannot speak for UDI or L?nekassen.

Students who started the MA programme in autumn 2020
Students who started on the programme in 2020 have been instructed to prepare an alternative to traditional fieldwork if travel should not be possible due to the coronavirus situation.
However, in these uncertain times delays may occur regardless of well-laid plans. If so, please consult your supervisors in order to change your fieldwork plans, and notify the administration if you are delayed. This also goes for students who apply for leave of absence during the period that they should otherwise have conducted fieldwork and/or writing their theses. The administration will assist you in changing the timeline for fieldwork and the master thesis, and consider whether there will be need to apply for leave of absence due to unforeseen changes in the possibilities of conducting fieldwork as planned.
