Master’s thesis project templates and abstracts at the Theatre Academy
You can download the thesis project templates and read about related training opportunities on this page.
We recommend you save the written component of your master’s thesis project in the thesis project template provided by Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy. You can also choose not to use the template for saving your work if you want to design the layout yourself.
It is not compulsory to use the thesis template.
Use of the thesis project template in a word processing software
The thesis template is designed to work with the desktop version of Word (Microsoft Office). It does not work with other word processing programs without problems. If you decide to use the thesis template, it is recommended that you write your thesis in Word from scratch. This will also save your time.
The library does not provide technical support for thesis templates in other programs than Word.
Uniarts Helsinki uses the Microsoft 365 service with an Office package. You can download Microsoft Office as desktop versions on your computer by signing in to the Microsoft 365 service at portal.office.com.
If you need more information about downloading the software, contact the university’s IT support: help@uniarts.fi, tel. 0294 47 2200.
You can also use Microsoft Office software on computers in university IT classes or in the library.

Thesis project abstracts
Below you can find a thesis project abstract that you should include in your written thesis project if you have chosen not to use the thesis project template and want to use your own layout for the text. The first abstract template is for a thesis project in Finnish (PDF) and the second one is for a thesis project in English (DOC).
Include a Finnish abstract in your thesis project if you write the thesis in English and also want to demonstrate your proficiency in Finnish as a first language.
