About the course

Course content

This course offers the possibility for PhD students at IVT to follow a customised ecodesign course at IPD. Those that would like to follow the regular course which is also open to master students, are welcome to take TPD5100.
PD8301 is meant for those PhD students interested in doing a customised project, which is open for discussion. Generally it will involve some individual discussion and tutoring, to arrive at project description which is of mutual interest, to the PhD student and to IPD. This project is preferably in the form of a piece of original research or an extensive literature review, resulting in a paper that can be submitted for publication. Throughout the research, supervision in the form of discussion meetings is offered (obviously).
