| 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.
Approximately 3 weeks before hand-in a bachelor student
conference is held. It is intended to help you to critically
reflect upon the content and set-up of your thesis, allow you to
practice presenting the main ideas of your thesis to an audience
talking about methodological, theoretical and analytical matters in
a coherent way. You are expected to participate in the bachelor
student conference
