Individual Research Module

The individual research module is worth 15 CP. It consists of a small research project that you define together with an advisor, and which you document with a short term paper and a poster. It is meant to expose you to the challenges of coming up with your own project and managing your time and work such that you can complete it by a given deadline. Thus the individual research module prepares you for your master's thesis.
