About the course
Course content
The specialization project comprises a workload of 15 ECTS together with a specialization coarse of 7.5 ECTS. The specialization project will normally be related to on-going research projects within nanotechnology at the Department. It is emphasized that the student shall learn to work systematically within the chosen topic, and also to learn how to gain detailed knowledge through literature studies and practical work.
Learning outcome
The student shall learn to attain in-depth knowledge of a specific subject area using scientific methods, i.e. acquire completing knowledge through literature studies and use of other sources. Furthermore, the student shall learn to complete a large independent project work, including setting up a project plan with milestones, reporting preliminary results and writing a project report according to established standards. The student shall also be trained in oral presentation of his/her own work.
Learning methods and activities
Independent project work with academic supervision. During the semester the students will be given a compulsory training in literature search, report writing and presentation techniques. In connection with the submission of the project report, there will be a seminar where the students give a compulsory oral presentation of their project work. The time schedule will be provided at the start of the semester.
