Content

In the degree project, the student should apply skills acquired during the study period by independently treating and presenting an assignment within a given time frame based on results from the course Degree Project Feasibility Study in Industrial Engineering and Management. The assignment should be chosen so that knowledge acquired during previous studies in the Bachelor's Programme in Leadership - Quality Management - Improvement can be applied, broadened and deepened.

Instruction

Independent research or development work, report writing, individual supervision and seminars.

Assessment

Oral and written presentation of the degree project (see Other Directives). Critical review of another degree project (normally within the same programme), or an equivalent assignment defined by the examiner.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method.
