EnglishCourse contents
Based on the knowledge acquired through 5 semesters, this course is the precursor to the final bachelor project. This course is all about narrowing down knowledge to one focus point within one of the four specializations:
- E-sports athlete or manager
- E-sports related business and activity
- Technology and innovation
- Health and Education
The content of the course is defined together with the supervisor within the field of specialization chosen by the student.The student will create a project report which will be the foundation for the bachelor thesis. The report has to be approved before the bachelor thesis can be started.
The project should provide insight into what the student wants to focus on in the bachelor thesis. It also has to explain the methodology and theoretical background for the coming bachelor thesis. The final report should also look into ethical issues connected to the bachelor’s thesis.
