Thesis

Wihi is a tool for communicating and archiving thesis work. It is used to communicate between the student, the thesis supervisor, and the client. The thesis topic proposal, the thesis plan, the thesis cooperation agreement, and the various stages of the thesis process are processed in Wihi, where the thesis is also assessed in due course.

You can find the instructions for using Wihi here.

The thesis guide provides general guidelines for implementation and evaluation. It is intended for both the student and the supervising teacher. The guide also provides information for Humak’s partners in the working world, who act as commissioners and supervisors of theses.
