• Apply the economics and finance skills and analytical competences acquired during the first year courses at a high level on a relevant business problem.
• Apply a relevant and practically oriented perspective on the business problem selected for the project.
• Explain and argue for the relevance of the problem for the company and the value added of the economic and/or financial analysis.
• Communicate the results clearly taking both the consultancy and the academic aspects into account.

This course is a foundation course and complementary to all courses taught in the first year of the AEF concentration.

There will be an introduction to the project in early February aiming at getting students to find a corporate partner/supervisor as well as getting them to form teams (groups of four students).
The business project is a way of getting to apply the economics and finance skills acquired during the first year courses of the programme. The corporate supervisor assigns a project to the team and enough supervision to initiate the process. The deadline of the project is common to all projects. There will thus be approximately six working weeks available for researching, analysing and writing up the project. The academic supervisor (chosen on the basis of the content of the project) will assist the group in academic issues and possibly in team dynamics. International student teams of four students should carry out the Business Project and each team should preferably include one local student and one international student. Each group will be given 6 hours of supervision.
