Open Project Work

About Open Project Work

The main part of the tuition consists of independent project work managed by the student(s) supported by a professional supervisor. Through a problem analysis a problem formulation will be prepared which should be approved by the supervisor. Based on the student's proposal a work plan and time schedule for the project will be agreed upon. Fixed tutorials with a written draft from the student will be arranged.

The report can be made in groups. In this case, each individual contribution to the report must be identifiable.

The maximum number of pages in the report is 15 pages for 5 ECTS, 25 pages for 10 ECTS and 35 pages for 15 ECTS.
