Type of instruction
The project work is carried out as an independent work process in which the students themselves organize and coordinate their workload in collaboration with a supervisor.
The project may be carried out individually or in groups.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 15 ECTS project module the expected workload is 450 hours for the student.
