By Mads Faurby Delcin

In the autumn of 2016, CMSS looked for a thesis student to do a project on the costs of repatriation of sick seafarers. Since I wanted to get better at the health economics methods, it was obvious for me to write a master's thesis about this topic, and I have not regretted it for one second. As a thesis student at CMSS, high expectations were placed on me, but at the same time I also got the opportunity to work with some highly competent and committed people. Writing a thesis is a long process and not ‘a bed of roses’, but from day one I met a lot of enthusiasm, and my supervisors were helpful far beyond what could be expected, which I have enjoyed as a student. I can highly recommend other students to write their mater's theses in collaboration with CMSS research unit.
