About the course
Course content
This course aims at extending the knowledge acquired in TMM4205, TMT4255, or similar master level courses by going more in detail in the different topics. The course will focus on the needs of the PhD students i.e., the contents will be tailor made according to the PhD work plan and needs. The aim is to provide the student with tools within their field to perform proper and adequate research.
Learning outcome
In this course the PhD student will learn how to work on a small research project going deeper in one of the topics related to his/her PhD work. Deeper knowledge will be acquired in one specific topic and skills like research reporting and presentation will be also acquired.
Learning methods and activities
The student will prepare a report at the end of the semester that will serve as final delivery for the course. This report should comply with the standards of PhD quality reporting. The report can also be a draft of a paper for his/her PhD.
Further on evaluation
A report at the end of the semester must be submitted. It will be evaluated as basis for PhD quality standards.
