Course content and
structure |
This capstone project is the conclusion of the BSc in
international Business and Politics. It is an independent project,
written with a faculty advisor, and students can pursue their own
interests within the broad area of international business and
politics. Projects can pursue a purely theoretical question, or
they can focus on an action- or policy-oriented problem, or they
can pose problems that combine such elements. A mandatory project
seminar is part of the faculty guidance.
