Course contents

The course gives students the opportunity to assist in research projects and environments, gain practical experience in research by participating in a research project as part of a research group. By integrating theory with practical experience, the student applies their academic learning in a "real world research environment" to develop new knowledge, skills and competencies. In this course, students carry out basic research tasks such as literature studies, data collection, project reporting and observations and under the supervision of senior researchers. Furthermore, students will be introduced to entrepreneurial thinking, innovation and project management.

The focus of the course is peer-to-peer learning, learning by doing and reflecting on one's own learning through a portfolio/logbook.
