Additional information

This course is intended for students who want to work independently on a particular topic of his/her interest. The student needs to find a supervisor by him/herself. The supervisor and the student will need to agree on a topic together. Topics can be for example (list is not exclusive):
* studying a particular topic from literature

In general the student will write a report on his studies or findings that can be evaluated either by the supervisor or by an external examiner.
