Syllabus
  • The curriculum is developed individually in agreement with the supervisor as part of an individual study plan. In agreement with the supervisor, the student selects a conference relevant to the dissertation topic or a similar topic and discusses the topic of the discussion paper. At the same time, he/she will consult with the supervisor on the progress of the discussion paper, as well as the presentation itself and the subsequent discussion. The conference presentation assessed in the course is normally preceded by practice presentations (with different topics) at less demanding conferences through which the student develops the necessary skills (according to the individual needs of the student identified in collaboration with the supervisor). The assessed course is the culmination or completion of the process of development of the relevant skills; it is not a complete expression of it.
