Master's Thesis

Media and Democracy study track

Following the development of effective vaccines against COVID-19, a global access gap has emerged, with wealthier countries receiving the vast majority of vaccines and therapeutics. The governments of several lower-income countries have since identified a major cause of this gap to be intellectual property arrangements governing the development of pharmaceutical products. In response, these countries submitted a proposal within the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS Council to waive specific elements of the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights in relation to COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. Since then, a small number of wealthy countries where most major vaccine producers are located have resisted calls to pass the Waiver, thus maintaining intellectual property restrictions and limiting access to vaccines.

This thesis explores the discursive nature of the arguments put forward against the Waiver within the institutional context of the WTO TRIPS Council from October 2020 to December 2021. It applies the Critical Discourse Analysis approach to identify several discourses that characterise the nature of opposition to the TRIPS Waiver, to explain how these shape political outcomes and delimit courses of effective action and resistance. This thesis concludes that opposition to the TRIPS Waiver is both a driver and a symptom of a planetary renewal of colonial relations, in which neoliberal discourses around health have served to keep lifesaving treatments out of reach to those who cannot afford them during a deadly pandemic. 

Global Political Economy

Taking the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) as a case study, this thesis contributes to the understanding of how the SDP and centre-left parties more generally were neoliberalised, this is to say how they became to embrace the idea that society is best organised through markets and competition. Drawing from the work of Stephanie Mudge, the thesis focuses on party experts, those party actors oriented towards producing truth-claims of society, hence affecting the way parties conceive the world and speak.

Governance, Organization and Communication study track

This study aims to analyze institutional change and transparency practices of the National Audit Office of Peru (NAO), whose job is to promote accountability in public administration but paradoxically faced an accountability crisis in 2017.This study analyzes the combination of logics of explanation that fostered the changes in the NAO during 2010 to 2020, and the role of transparency practices in institutional change. This study answers two research questions about the logics of explanation that were decisive to promote institutional change and the role of transparency in institutional change at the National Audit of Peru during the ten-year study of 2010-2020. In that regard, this theory-based qualitative research is based on institutional change theories and the four logics of explanation proposed by Vivien Schmidt: institutional design, evolutionary, appropriateness, and communication, the perceptions of seven decision-makers, managers, authors, or participants who worked during the time of the study frame of ten years, plus the analysis of statistical data.

The conclusions of this study show that the combination of the four logics of explanation was crucial for the changes at the National Audit Office, and the practices of transparency were effects of those changes.

Global Political Economy study track

The thesis evaluates the utility of Stephen Gill’s concept of new constitutionalism in understanding the functioning of the European Economic and Monetary union (EMU) in 2015– 2020. New constitutionalism is defined as legally locked in rules-based market discipline. The thesis has two research questions: 1) To what extent does the concept of new constitutionalism aptly describe the economic policy space of EMU member states? That is, to what extent the EMU, with its associated rules and criteria, constrains the economic policies of its member states? 2) To what extent are new constitutionalist principles “locked in” in the EMU? That is, to what extent is new constitutionalism really constitutional in the EMU?

Media and Democracy

The aims of higher education have always been subject to debate and opposing opinions. In an increasingly complex world with many global challenges, the aims of higher education are once more debated. Furthermore, a growing international student body is also challenging what students should be educated for. How does these factors affect the aims of higher education and how should the university prepare students for this complex world?

Description

Master of Design in Design for Interactions

Our mdes program supports those with design backgrounds who seek to transform their practice..

The School of Design welcomes students who hold undergraduate degrees in a design-based field and at least one year of professional experience to enroll in our MDes program. If you’re looking to build onto your strong foundation in design by studying the “big picture” aspect of designing for interactions—people, organizations, cultures, contexts, and systems—our MDes program can help you. Throughout the program, you will work with some of the brightest thinkers and most talented practitioners in the field, gaining exposure to approaches, ideas, and methods at the forefront of design. Studies rooted in communication, systems thinking, futuring, speculative design, design technology, ethics, and design research form the basis of the MDes. The curriculum enables us to teach you a rigorous process for documenting, analyzing, and understanding the past and present so that you are well-positioned to propose more desirable systems and interactions for the future.

The diversity of our MDes cohort creates an incredible group of people with whom to learn.

In addition to bringing rich cultural experiences from around the world, our MDes students hold a wide range of professional and academic expertise. Holding undergraduate degrees in design-based disciplines such as communication design, product design, user experience design, architecture, and service design, our MDes students bring their unique perspectives to design coursework, which enriches everyone’s learning. Our requirement for MDes students to have at least one year of professional experience also bolsters our program as students bring valuable lessons learned in practice, such as effective collaboration, to their academic studies.

Our rigorous curriculum balances structure and autonomy.

Spanning four semesters over the course of two years, the MDes program will challenge your thinking of the roles design can and should play in aiding various forms of interactions throughout society. Through individual and team-based projects that focus on the design of services or social innovation concepts, you will learn design principles, approaches, theories, and tools that are essential to designing for interactions. Each semester is comprised of thoughtfully-aligned seminars, studios, and labs that equip you with important knowledge and skills that aid your development as a design leader. Despite designers typically working in service of others and responding to specific prompts, our MDes courses provide you with ample autonomy in directing your individual work. We take this approach because we recognize the importance of your individual interests and strive to support you as you chart your personal path that builds on your unique design background and voice. Given that CMU is a liberal arts research university, students may also appreciate pursuing research opportunities with faculty and taking courses across campus to broaden and deepen their education.

The MDes thesis provides an opportunity for you to conduct rigorous design research.

A unique feature of the MDes program is the design thesis, which is characterized as an independent research and design project that you will conduct under the mentorship of a faculty advisor. The thesis is complemented by a required second-year seminar, elective coursework in the School of Design, and other departments across the Carnegie Mellon campus. In the first year, you'll identify possible thesis topics relative to School of Design faculty expertise, investigate ways of conducting a thesis, construct a researchable question that will frame your project, secure a thesis advisor, and write a proposal for your second year of study. In the second year, you'll conduct intensive research that aligns with an appropriate design process and culminates in a robust design project that addresses your research question. You will also write a document that describes your steps and discoveries. Throughout the process you will participate in public sharing sessions of thesis work, where you will give and receive feedback to further your inquiry and understanding. You can peruse masters theses from students in the School of Design online at KiltHub .

Thesis and graduation deadlines at the faculty of educational sciences: spring 2024

Are you planning to submit your thesis in spring term 2024   .

If yes, kindly check the timetable for the submission and examination of Master`s theses already when writing your thesis.   

If you are planning to graduate by the end of the academic year (by July 31, 2024), please submit your thesis by May 14, 2024.  

Credits for Master’s theses are registered in Sisu as soon as possible (within a couple of days) after the faculty council has approved the theses. The date of completion for a Master’s thesis is the date of the faculty council meeting in which the thesis is approved.  

Timetable for submission and examination of Bachelor’s theses (available only in Finnish and Swedish).  

Scheduling your graduation, summer 2024  

If you wish to graduate by the end of the academic year (July 31, 2024), you must submit your graduation request in Sisu by July 31, 2024.  

Your date of graduation is the date on which you submit a graduation request in Sisu or the following weekday.   

Kindly note that due to the high number of graduation requests and July being a vacation month at the university, some of the graduation requests submitted during June and July might be processed in August. 

• Please note! Please familiarize yourself with the detailed instructions for handing in your graduation request.    

All credits, including Master’s thesis , must be registered in Sisu before submitting the graduation request. In exceptional cases, you can apply for graduation in Sisu through the relevant degree programme code when you have completed all of your studies, but the final credits have not yet been registered. Please note! If your last missing course is the Master’s thesis, you can only submit your graduation request once the thesis has been approved by the faculty council and registered in Sisu. 

• Please notice the following:  If you apply for graduation before all credits have been registered, you can only submit the application once you have completed all the courses and they are in the process of being assessed (for example, you have participated in the exam or turned in an essay). A graduation request submitted before all credits have been registered can only be processed once the missing credits have been registered. When the course has been registered in Sisu, send an email to [email protected] with, for example “Graduation request submitted, last studies registered to Sisu” as the subject.  

Please note when submitting your graduation request   

• In the field “Other information”, you need to enter the following information: 
• Whether you wish to receive your degree certificate in Finnish or Swedish. (Students in the Changing Education program get two certificates, one in English + one in one of the national languages of Finland)  
• Whether the language of your secondary education was Finnish, Swedish or another language.  
• Whether you have completed pedagogical studies for teachers (60 cr) as part of your degree. Also list your teaching subjects if you have completed any as part of your degree.  

Graduation ceremony   

Save the date! The graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Educational Sciences for all students graduating during Spring term, 2024 will be held on Thursday, June 6 from 16.00 to 18.00. More information on the ceremony will be updated on the Instructions for Students: Graduation website during the spring.
