Independent Elective Study

You may design an independent elective study under the guidance of a supervisor from Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.

The study may be carried out as an independent research or review project of varying duration (2.5 or 5 ECTS credits). You must select a specific topic together with your supervisor of choice, and agree on the objective, scope and size of the project.

You must provide 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. It is important that your your supervisor approve the project description and sign the project agreement.

The project may be:

• based on experimental work in a laboratory or elsewhere
• an academic review
• based on calculations/modulations/simulations

Before you start working on the project, you must submit the signed project agreement and pay the tuition fee.
