Timeline and Planning

Orientation and start Research Topics

When

What

After approx. 60 EC

Start thinking about an area / subject for your Final Project (and Research Topics). Start appoaching possible supervisors in the area of your preffered topic. If you are looking to carry our your final project within a company start approaching companies for possible assignments.


You are meant to find a company or assignment on your own, but if you are struggling, approach your programme coordinator for suggestions for companies or ask your supervisor(s) for suggestions. If it takes too long, we can always help you find an assignment at one of our research chairs.
optional: If you are looking for an in-company project, but are unable to find one and your supervisor can't help you with contacts, you can check out for example Jobteaser, companies like Integrand or check out the mobility office / internship office EEMCS Canvas for potential assignments. There is also an option to already start RT and find a company with an assignment in the area of your topic while already diving into the literature. Though it might mean you can use just a bit less of your preparatory efforts when coming into the FP.
