| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
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 as well as
getting them to form teams.
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 four 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. Each
group will be given 4 hours of supervision.
