The maximum number of pages for an individually
written BA project is 40 pages. For group projects the number of
pages for a group of 2 students is 60 pages. For every additional
group member an additional 10 pages is added to the maximum number
of pages of the BA project . Thus, 1 student = 40 pages; 2 students
= 60 pages; 3 students = 70 pages; 4 students = 80 pages; 5
students = more than 80 pages.
The project is to be written in English and the oral examination of
the project is also conducted in English. |

project and formulate a research question. The research question
should relate to the / one of those countries where the language
that the student specialises in is spoken.

the programme offers a number of lectures that address the most
common problems that may arise in the process of project work.
