Brief description

In this module, the knowledge and skills gained in the degree programme are worked on independently when dealing with a research and development question. 

Successful professional activity in the intended occupational field requires the ability to work on and solve defined questions largely independently using scientific methods. In a project, the students apply the previously acquired subject-specific and interdisciplinary qualifications to an exemplary task. The project can be realised in cooperation with companies, a planning office, a building administration, similar institutions from the professional field or in connection with third-party funded projects at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. When working on the project, the project and the Master's thesis can be linked. However, both are graded separately.

Overall workload

The total workload for the module is 900 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
