Master Project – 20 ECTS

The degree culminates in a final master’s project during the final/fourth semester. Here you apply what you have learned and make an intellectual contribution to the field. You need to select among two types of projects. If answering a theoretical question, you will develop a master’s thesis. Instead, if it is a response to a more practical query, you will produce a capstone report.
