Course content and structure

The bachelor's project concludes the undergraduate programme, and the objective and requirements should be seen as a continuation of what students have encountered in the programme. The requirements for the project are rigor and precision when it comes to definition of the research question, methodology and use of theory and data.
Students are encouraged to choose their research question in cooperation with an organisation or corporation, and the research question may draw on problems and issues experienced during their internship, if the student has participated in an internship programme.


Guided by the project’s research question, the project can draw on knowledge from all three years of study. The overall theme of the bachelor project is digital management and must show the student’s ability to integrate knowledge by formulating an interdisciplinary problem and conducting a systematic and valid analysis within the framework of a complex theme, discussed in the light of theories, processes and practices related to the programme.
