Procedure for master assignment

• You need a professor (or group)
• You need a subject
• You can do 15 EC of courses in preparation of
  your master assignment. Your professor has to
  agree with the choice of these courses.
• Find professor, subject and courses at an early
  stage!

3
Internship versus projects

• If Internship then elective courses in q2, q3, q4
• If projects then elective courses in parallel
  with your master assignment
