Orientation on Presentation and Career

During the first year, in which the research project takes place, there are at least two meetings with the other students that are undertaking the Master's degree programme Science and Business Management. These seminar days are meant to underline the interdisciplinarity of the group, to keep the focus on applications, to learn from each other's mistakes and to celebrate each other's successes. In these seminars the students learn to communicate their research project with a broad audience. This is an essential skill for working in a business environment.

In this course students make a connection between their research project and the business management part of the programme, by interviewing a person from the industry/governmental organisation about the relevance of their research project for the industry or society. This interview should be conducted by using a format provided by the course coordinator. The outcome of the interview should be handed in as an appendix and can serve as a source of information for the final presentation.
