If participants do not pass the
regular exam relating to the Master’s project, they have the option
at the re-take of either resubmitting the project in a revised form
or of submitting a new project on a new basis. This decision is
taken in consultation with the supervisor/
examiner.

| Course content and
structure |
|
The master's project is the final step before graduation and
aims at integrating the various topics by choosing an issue related
to each student’s company and analysing this in great detail, using
real world data. To help participants focus and to provide valuable
feedback in the process of writing the project, three presentations
are scheduled where feedback is given by a panel of academic and
business experts. The aim is that the participants have thoroughly
analysed a strategic issue, proposed solutions and proposed an
implementation plan. These presentations cover the four constituent
parts of the project as follows:
- Industry Analysis
- Company and Issue Analysis
- The complete project with an Implementation Plan
- The last presentation serves as the oral defence of the
master's project.
