Independent Elective Study

An independent research or review project of varying duration (2.5 or 5 ECTS credits).

Students can design their elective study together with a supervisor from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences or choose one of the preapproved combinations.

Self designed course

The student select a specific topic together with an supervisor. The supervisor must approve the objective, scope and size of the project. The student provides a written account (two to three pages) of the objective, scope, size and content of the project, as well as a supplementary description of specific academic objectives. The supervisor must approve this project description before the student starts working on the project. The student must work independently guided by the supervisor. The project may be:

• based on experimental work in a laboratory or elsewhere
• an academic review
• based on calculations/modulations/simulations
• based on conference activities
• based on a course taken elsewhere e.g. the preapproved courses below.
