Course Contents
The project course aims to provide students with a scientific background before they graduate. Throughout this course, students review the literature at national and international databases and decide on a project subject preferably related to their field of specialization. Students are also equipped with knowledge on research methods, presentation techniques, citation and reference rules, scientific ethics, academic discourse and effective study skills. During the project preparation process, students are given continuous feedback by the academic advisors so as to enable them to write a scientific report on the project subject, make a successful and effective scientific presentation and defend the study in presence of a group of listeners.
