Instructions of how the master's thesis process works from bureaucratic point of view are given on the Degree Programme's page (the same instructions are also available in Finnish). Check the Degree Programme's instruction first, below are some instructions from more practical point of view.
Usually, Master's Theses are written in English. In addition to English language, you need to use the style of English writing. This means, that you give more hints what the reader will read next than writing in Finnish. This is done with transition in every layer. Use transition words such as however, on the other hand etc. to link sentences, link paragraphs together, and finally, the whole paper is linked together. Do not use same transition words too often but choose synonyms.
Do not worry about the end of the work in the begining!
