Indhold

Topics in Economics and Management is a special course of study used as an umbrella for students writing a small paper in a topic of their choice, hence it is possible for the students to work on a topic where there is not enough students to justify lecture series. The subject of the paper must be accepted by a faculty member who acts as a supervisor.

The paper may form the basis for an oral examination as decided by the supervisor. When the topics paper has been accepted and the student has handed in two copies to the supervisor, the student will also have signed up for the topics exam. When an oral examination is required, the supervisor will inform the student about the exact time of the examination.
