  • Purpose and learning objectives

    • Implementation of personal and professional communication
    • Intercultural competencies
    • Group alignment through quality assessment

    By meeting the objectives of this topic you will be able to:
    • Implement tools for group alignment
    • Select methods to collect, analyze and convey information
    • Analyze the stakeholders relevant for your semester project and plan your project communication accordingly
    • Produce and perform an interdisciplinary presentation narrative of your semester project using digital media
    • Create your own CV and generate your presentation portfolio
    • Communicate your personal intercultural competencies
    Identify and reflect on individual and collective learning

  • Type of instruction
    The teaching is based on the understanding that learning is most efficient if students are given the opportunity to work with real-life assignments from, or inspired by, companies in relevant industries.
    When choosing a project, the possibility of incorporating the academic and professional challenges throughout the semester into the project must be taken into account.
    The students are given the opportunity to be involved in the various project phases, from preliminary analysis to realisation of the project. In connection with the project work, the students are faced with real-life problems to be solved based on the given theory, and are to organise the work in such a way that deadlines can be met. The students are furthermore provided with the necessary qualifications to work independently, thereby preparing them to complete the final project as an individual assignment.
    This working method allows the students to gain an understanding of how problems are identified and analysed, how solution models are set up, and how the right solution is adopted.
