AG134X Degree Project in Built Environment, First Cycle 15.0 credits

The course is conducted as a project and is performed individually or together with another student. The course is designed with organised supervision including controls during the course period.

The degree project should constitute a specialised study in the main field for first-cycle studies to satisfy the requirements for higher education qualification. The course is designed as a limited project of independent nature within GIT/Geoinformatics.

It is the examiner that decide if the student has the specialisation that is intended and that the student completed the main part of the studies before degree project is started.
