What is a Degree Project

Students set their project theme freely and discover solutions.
Research for individual degree projects is performed through seminars. We invite stakeholders of the company, administrative body, or the like to 2 briefing sessions (mid-term and final) as external evaluators,getting feedback on research from perspectives including novelty and feasibility. Students incorporate that into a report and announce their results at a public presentation.
