Learning methods and activities

Independent/collaborative project work with guidance. Regular meetings with supervisor(s). There will one superviser from each insitution, TU Delft and NTNU. After submitting the thesis, the student will give an oral defense of the thesis according to TU Delft requirements.

Further on evaluation

Assessment is based on the submitted thesis and the oral defense. The grade is decided by both institutions together. Before submitting the thesis, the student must obtain clearance confirming that both TU Delft and NTNU accept the thesis for submission.
