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
