This might be technicality, but at a university I studied in Czech Republic, it was sufficient if the bachelors thesis contained no original research, and was more or less just an overview of current developments in a subfield of what you study.
I think the reasoning was, that 2 semesters that it took to write is too little time to conduct any original research, and that showcasing ability to write a comprehensive scientific text and process current scientific papers is enough to varrant a bachelors thesis.
Master thesis had to have original research.
Maybe there are more differences between Denmark and Czech higher education.
For example, do you have just a thesis defense, or do you need to pass some sort of state examination as well?
I remember, that a fried of mine was contrasting mostly four week blocks of intense study on single topic in Denmark with for Czech more standard semester with 5-10 classes, each 1-5 hours a week.
In America, the trend has been towards industry sponsored 'Capstone Projects'. A company comes in with a problem that may or may not need to be solved, students are put into teams to 'simulate the real world' and are given a semester or two to solve the problem for the client.
I see that as fitting the same bill. You can't expect bachelor students to produce publisheable quality work, but solving a problem (if it includes gathering data and choosing theory to apply) is research within a very limited scope.
Please post a source for this. Maybe your DK bachelor thesis had original research in it, mine surely did not, and I do not believe it is a requirement.
