There is also the possibility to do a minor practical or project oriented course also during the summer. Literature project is a shorter project where you perform an individual literature study which is then presented in the form of a written report. Research training gives the opportunity to take part in the practical work and activities at a work place, without necessarily having to run your own project. Project work finally is a possibility to delve deep into a limited subject and at the same time obtain training and knowledge about working in a project format.

All formalities with finding a place and a supervisor, with submitting the application, getting registered and so on has to be done at the latest towards the end of the spring term.
