Learning Objectives:

Apply the knowledge and tools you gained in the business project course to a real project. Industry or research partners will provide a real case or research question and student teams will work to create a concrete result, e.g., a software artefact or prototype, an algorithm, an empirical study, a research paper. This course can be a stepping stone for academic research (continuation towards a master thesis) or job opportunity. 

Topics of this course:

• Project planning and management skills – applied

• Coaching by project management experts

• Depending on the topic of real-life project: software development, methods of empirical data collection (interviews, experiments, web scraping), data analysis and data mining…
