| Overall content |
The purpose of the bachelor’s project is for the student to undertake a detailed investigation in relation to their prior studies on the basis of experience and academic insight acquired through their studies. The bachelor’s project must decisively draw upon and use natural science theories and methods to illuminate a complex natural science issue. The Head of Studies must approve the area within which the bachelor’s project problem statement is to be formulated. This is to ensure that the student can be allocated relevant supervision. The Head of Studies approves the topic of the bachelor’s project and also sets a deadline for submission of the bachelor’s project. |
| Prerequisites for participation in the exam |
Approval of the project work for the bachelor project is contingent on the student having actively and satisfactorily participated in the project, including the following elements of the project work:
|
| Teaching and working methods |
The bachelor project is problem-oriented, exemplary and participant-led. The intention of the project work is to develop the student’s proficiency in applying natural science theories and methods while working on a delimited academic area. The project work entails the student independently formulating a problem statement of their own choosing so that the project provides an exemplary realisation of the purpose of the project in question. Over the course of the project work, the group will undergo an evaluation together with the supervisor in connection with the halfway evaluation and once more at the end of the project. |

The starting point for the oral exam is the students' bachelor project report and any supplementary material. The exam includes individual presentations within one of the topics selected by the examiner, which will be communicated to the students no later than 3 working days prior to the exam. Each individual presentation may last up to 5 minutes. A dialogue between the student(s) and the assessors about the project, will be conducted after the individual presentation(s). There may be posed questions to any part of the the subject area of the project report. The assessment is individual and is based on the project report, any additional material and the student´s oral performance. Permitted group size: 2-6 students. The character limits of the project report are: For 1 student: 24,000-180,000 characters, including spaces. For 2 students: 24,000-180,000 characters, including spaces. For 3 students: 24,000-192,000 characters, including spaces. For 4 students: 24,000-192,000 characters, including spaces. For 5 students: 24,000-204,000 characters, including spaces.
