Course content

This course stump gathers all projects and registered students before their allocation. A choice process will take place here, as well as a couple of introductory sessions. All the rest of the process will take place in the specific Field project learning unit into which you will be registered after the project choice.

The field projects are an important part of students’ final training and a way to get accustomed to professional practice in the final year of their degree. Students will show their ability to collaborate in a self-managed team and deliver a useful analysis about a topic submitted by a client organization. Students will learn how to organize for a consultancy project, communicate with the client and a variety of stakeholders and deliver a professional, timely and valuable service.
