Course content

This course is a foundation course and complementary to all courses taught in the first year of the AEF concentration.

There will be an introduction to the project in early February aiming at getting students to find a corporate partner as well as getting them to form teams.

The business project is a way of getting to apply the economics and finance skills acquired during the first year courses of the programme. We recommend that each group finds a corporate supervisor, i.e. a contact person withing a company.

The deadline of the project is common to all projects. There will thus be approximately four working weeks available for researching, analysing and writing up the project. The academic supervisor (which the groups need to find themselves - supervisor catalogue will be provided) will assist the group in academic issues and possibly in team dynamics. Each group will be given 1,5 hours supervision per student.
