| Learning objectives | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To achieve the grade 12, students should meet the following learning objectives with no or only minor mistakes or errors: Through the project report, the students should demonstrate the ability to master a project that is “issue-focused”, i.e. dealing with a concrete problem, be it a corporate, economic or theoretical problem, and includes a dimension of “internationality”, i.e. dealing with a question that applies to more than one country. Since the CEMS Research Project is applied in different domains of academic business studies, the more precise expectations and specific learning objective for the individual project should be clarified in a dialogue between the student and the project supervisor at the beginning of project work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
The CEMS Research Project results in an independent research paper that counts only towards the CEMS MIM degree. It is formally separated from the MSc degree and will be graded by the supervisor only. The CEMS Research Project may be used as a pilot project / stepping stone toward the later MSc thesis. This implies that the contents of the CEMS Research Project may be designed so that it feeds into the MSc thesis, e.g. with an introduction, delimitation of research question(s), a review of the literature in the field, or research methodology. Due to the formal separation of the MSc degree and the CEMS MIM degree, CBS has decided that the research paper is exempt from the rules concerning self-plagiarism in order to allow that the text produced for the CEMS Research Project paper may be integrated in the subsequent MSc thesis at CBS. |
