Academic content
- Purpose
- The purpose of the master's project is for the student to investigate a topic in connection with management, also in connection with the Faroese management context, based on the knowledge and learning the student has acquired during the management education.
- Learning outcomes
- When the course is over, the student must be able to: • Confirm and communicate current management phenomena and problems from a scientific and academic perspective. • Explain a significant problem with relevant management theory and concepts. • Confirm and discuss practical consequences that the analysis has uncovered.
- Content
- • Practical and important topics within selected management areas • Analysis of management situations and phenomena with scientific methods, where there is a requirement that the use of quantitative methods is included in the investigation • Clear theoretical views that provide a better understanding of a management phenomenon that is important for management as a whole, and management in Faroese society (past/present and/or future) • Prepare, organize and carry out a problem-oriented analysis independently, or in collaboration with other students (but no more than 3 group members), supervisor and other stakeholders.
- Learning and teaching approaches
- The master's project is based on problem-oriented project work, which is carried out individually or in groups. During the work process, when the master's project is carried out, the students meet 2-3 times. A mandatory mid-term presentation must be held, where the students present to each other based on a previous written submission and receive feedback from the lecturer and the other students.
Assessment
- Assessment method
- Problem-oriented written assignment to be defended orally. A prerequisite for obtaining permission for the final exam is that the student must have passed the written and oral mid-term presentation, which is held midway through the autumn semester/spring semester during the master's project course.
