Independent elective study
Organize and carry out an independent elective study motivated by your academic and personal interests. The study may be carried out in Denmark or abroad.
You may design an independent elective study under the guidance of a supervisor from Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
The study may be carried out as an independent research or review project of varying duration (2.5 or 5 ECTS credits). You must select a specific topic together with your supervisor of choice, and agree on the objective, scope and size of the project.
You must provide a written account (two to three pages) of the objective, scope, size and content of the project, as well as a supplementary description of specific academic objectives. It is important that your your supervisor approve the project description and sign the project agreement.
The project may be:
- based on experimental work in a laboratory or elsewhere
- an academic review
- based on calculations/modulations/simulations
Before you start working on the project, you must submit the signed project agreement and pay the tuition fee.
