Content

Individually or in a group, the student creates and conducts a project that, in one way or another, aims to contribute to a sustainable development. The student comes up with a project proposal that is read and treated by an interdisciplinary reference group. When the project proposal has been approved, the student carries out the project with the support of a supervisor and the resource-base at Cemus. The project is worked on and improved at re-occurring seminars and presented in a project-report, as well as in a more external context.

Instruction

Individual work combined with seminars and meetings with a supervisor.

Assessment

The final project report and presentation of the project constitutes the examination of the course.
