A project course gives you the opportunity to design a course that suits you.
A project course might be the right answer for you if you have become interested in a specific topic not covered by the existing courses offered or if you need to take a specific course in another form or with a different approach.
Project courses make it possible for you to work precisely with the topic you wish. You are able to determine the scope and the progress of the course yourself.
A specialization course is often set up in connection to a thesis, a bachelor or a diploma engineering project to gain a better insight into experimental methods or theories before you begin working on the project.
It is also a good way to test a subject area, a supervisor or a possible project partner before you start working on an extensive project. Furthermore you may gain valuable experience with specific working methods.
Contact a lecturer or the department you feel can fulfil your wishes for a project course.
Registration takes place via the department and the signed agreement is binding for all parties involved.
If you are a group of students it is also a good idea if you as a group match your expectations and ambitions for the project course before you begin.
