the content and conclusions in the project. The student should also

Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
The purpose of the master's project is to give the students
the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to devise a research
question, process and analyse the research question, collect
relevant empirical data in order to answer the research question
and summarise the results of the thesis. All of which should be
done by the student based on her/his own educational plan and
former courses.
The master's project should also demonstrate the student’s
ability to reflect about the research question’s relation to the
students own professional development, own organisation or role as
a manager.
