Course content
This capstone project is the conclusion of the BSc in International Business and Politics. It is an independent project, written under supervision, and students can pursue their own interests within the broad area of international business and politics. Projects can pursue a purely theoretical question, or they can focus on an action- or policy-oriented problem, or they can pose problems that combine such elements. The supervisor will be assigned based on the subject area of the project.
Approximately 3 weeks before hand-in a bachelor student conference is held. It is intended to help you to critically reflect upon the content and set-up of your thesis, allow you to practice presenting the main ideas of your thesis to an audience talking about methodological, theoretical and analytical matters in a coherent way. You are expected to participate in the bachelor student conference.
In relation to Nordic Nine
Depending on the student's concentration, the IBP bachelor project can cover all nine transformational capabilities of the Nordic Nine or various combinations thereof (NN1–9). Across different projects, however, the majority of students will be working with and being assessed on their skills in processing data analytically, and especially their sensitivity to ambiguity (NN2). At the same time, regardless of the project's focus, all students receive training in the capacity to critically reflect on their work and engage with others through cluster supervision and the bachelor student conference (NN6).
