Description of the exam
procedure
Every project needs to have a project
agreement that includes a project description as well as an EBUSS
supervisor.
The project agreement must contain a short description of the
project domain and scope, a research question (or several), as well
as an overview of the methods deemed relevant for answering the
research questions. If the final project departs from the
description in the original project agreement, the reason for this
must be accounted for in a short section in the project
report.
The project agreement must always be approved by the acting project
coordinator who acts on behalf of the study board.
The project must be handed in with the official EBUSS front
matter.

Course content and structure |
The purpose of project activities on the EBUSS
education is to enable the students to work on a self selected
problem or domain that they find interesting. The project must fall
within the overall aims of the EBUSS education (i.e. it must be in
the area of IT and business) and it must entail a reasonable
progression from the students' previous course and/or project
activities. By exploring potential areas/domains/methods or
theories, the project activities are also meant, to some extent, to
be preparatory for the masters thesis |
Teaching methods |
Supervision by EBUSS supervisor |
Expected literature |
Use the library databases. 700 normal pages of literature
relevant to the topic.
