Professional competences:

The student will learn to elaborate a scientific assignment. The module is designed to introduce to the later work in frame of the master thesis. It is structured in three parts:

- preparation of a literature based exposé about the chosen topic

- experimental work in the laboratory repeating selected experi-ments of the literature (ca. 10-14 working days)

- oral presentation of the topic (15-25 minutes)

The topic of the project work is discussed and given by the head of a department (member of the compulsory modules). The supervision will be conducted by a postgraduate of the department.

Comments:

The project work may be integrated into the course of studies flexibly during the first three semesters. However, it has to be completed before beginning to work on the Master’s thesis at the latest.

This module does not count towards the final grade.
