Publishing agreement for master’s thesis at UiT

UiT has a policy that master's theses should be openly available in the Norwegian Research Information Repository (NVA), in accordance with § 33 of the examination regulations. You may reserve the right to hold your thesis back from NVA for a limited time or forever.  

 Please note that any master's thesis is, by default, a public document. If you wish for your thesis not to be available in any form, you must apply to exempt the thesis from public access in accordance with applicable regulations (cf. § 33 of the examination regulations). In such cases, please contact your department or faculty. 

 
For a document to be made openly available in NVA, certain legal and ethical conditions must be met. The author is responsible for the content of the document, together with the institution. The thesis must not contain: 

• Personal data that makes it easy for readers to identify individuals. 

• Information received from private individuals under a confidentiality agreement. 

• Confidential material from a public administration body. 

• Material owned by others, for which you have not obtained permission to use in the electronic version of your thesis. 

Documents made available in NVA are regulated by the Copyright Act (Åndsverkloven). This document is made available in NVA under the "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" license.
