weight. |
| Regulations regarding the summary |
The Master’s project must be accompanied by an abstract in
English of the work (max. 1 page). The grade awarded must reflect
an overall assessment of the written project (including the
abstract), the academic writing skills, as well as the oral

Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If participants do not pass the
regular exam relating to the Master’s project, they have the option
at the re-take of either resubmitting the project in a revised form
or of submitting a new project on a new basis. This decision is
taken in consultation with the supervisor/
examiner.

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The master's project (ISP) is the final step before
graduation and aims at integrating the various topics by choosing
an issue related to each participant’s company and analysing this
in great detail, using real world data. To help participants focus
and to provide valuable feedback in the process of writing the
project, three presentations are scheduled where feedback is given
by a panel of academic and business experts. The aim is that the
participants have thoroughly analysed a strategic issue, proposed
solutions and proposed an implementation plan. These presentations
cover the four constituent parts of the project as follows:
- Industry Analysis
- Company and Issue Analysis
- The complete project with an Implementation Plan
- The last presentation serves as the oral defence of the
master's project.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| The learning is drawn from the previous
modules. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
The feedback
Feedback is given to the student together with the grade when
written and oral exams have been evaluated.
The evaluation
At the evaluation unit at CBS’s Economic & Analysis department
we ask you to evaluate the overall course. In other words if there
has been exercise classes and lectures the evaluation should
include both. We evaluate every course and faculty to secure and
strengthen the professional level of the offered course. |
