Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

A project-oriented course is an opportunity to combine theories and methods from the education with practice in companies and organizations. A project-oriented course takes place at Danish or foreign companies, Danish institutions and authorities in Denmark or abroad, or foreign and international organizations. The course must have an educational aim, and the tasks involved must be of an academic nature.

A project-oriented course concludes with the preparation of an experience report and a project report. The project report is based on the specific economic tasks that the student has helped to solve in the company or organization. The project report, which forms the basis for the exam, must document the theoretical and methodological considerations behind the solutions to the tasks, as well as the evaluation and choice between alternative solutions.
