Bach­el­or pro­ject

Course content

The bachelor project is the final and major independent piece of work on the BSc Soc programme, in which students demonstrate the capabilities they have developed over three years of undergraduate study, based on cross-disciplinary teaching in business economics, sociology, and social theory, as well as recurring interdisciplinary projects.

The objectives and requirements of the bachelor project extend those of the first and second year projects. The requirements are more rigorous than for the earlier projects particularly with regard to the definition of the research question, the use of academic literature, theory, methods and empirical data. Students are expected to engage with relevant issues in business and society, to improve the understanding of organisational or societal challenges and to reflect on solutions to the defined problems.

The project work culminates in a thesis that demonstrates the student’s ability to formulate a relevant problem, to conduct a systematic and valid analysis supported by a theoretical and methodological framework related to the broad field of Business Administration and Sociology, and critically reflect on the empirical data, theories and methods used, and the results of the thesis.

The overarching theme of the bachelor project is Business Administration and Sociology.

The project should be designed as a research project based on empirical data (which may also be literature). The problem formulation and research question should be relevant to central themes of the BSc Soc programme.

Guided by the research question, the project can draw on knowledge from all three years of study.
