    Teaching methods and instruction

    Your own project is the heart of the course. Everything else just supports this.

    Work in 1-3 person group on your very own project idea.

    You're responsible for advancing your project. You'll get advice and support from your group's guiding teacher.

    You get to present your work to classmates. This is also a change to get and give feedback and ideas for the project.

    Learning material and recommended literature

    Your own project affects the literature chosen. Some generic tool or project management material will be pointed out on the course. Some commonly used tools are git version control and Linux.

    Projects come in many sizes and success levels, so don't be baffled if some of them look amazing. The success of some projects has taken both teachers and project members by surprise.

    Working life connections

    Possibility to bring in and work on real life business cases. We recommend continuous publication on the project. This is a great way to build your portfolio for that dream job. After all, 1-3 persons doing 10 credits each makes this one of the largest projects in your studies.
