Research project 1

Full course description

The project period is based on research based learning (RBL). In RBL, you are challenged with a real-life problem and have to come up with a creative solution. You have to embrace the project, make it your own, and take responsibility in order to make it a worthwhile learning experience. In addition, you should experience that research is challenging, sometimes a bit frustrating, but above all fun. This way of working is very challenging, but it also offers opportunity to learn teamwork by sharing responsibilities, which is important for your future career.  Furthermore, in the projects you have to use all knowledge and skills you gathered in the programme up to that point. Only when you work together, you can truly excel. That is, you can propose and execute a project that surpasses the regular master level. Innovation and creativity are important, as well as solid scientific method and proper argumentation and discussion. The success of the project depends on your enthusiasm and motivation.
