Learning methods
The learning process of the course contains two traces. The first is a general method of teaching track (mainly based on lectures), that all the students participate in. The other is individually adapted supervision. The bachelor thesis is normally written in groups of two students and each group is assigned a supervisor from the section. To keep together the groups, continuous work seminars are furthermore arranged, where the groups read and discuss one another's draft.Work placement
No work placement is included in the planned learning activities. BTH is aiming for a close contact with the surrounding community when developing courses and programmes.Teachers
