Confidentiality

(1) If the student carries out the master's thesis in a research lab or within a UGent research project, the faculty confidentiality declaration is signed by supervisors, promoters and jury members.

• Note about the confidentiality
• Confidentiality declarations:

• Student
• Co-supervisor, non-UGent employee
• Supervisor, non-UGent employee
• Member of the jury, non-UGent employee

(2) If the student is conducting the master's thesis in an external company, the master's thesis contract (see above, under 'Modalities') is sufficient in most cases.

(3) In other cases where the student is involved in a research project, or where you want to ensure confidentiality, the 'unilateral declaration of confidentiality and assignment of rights' can be used. This declaration can also be used outside the master's thesis, e.g. in the context of labs, assignments, tasks, practicals.
