MEVIT4899 – Self Composed Course
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
Students may take up to 2 self composed courses (i.e. up to 20 credits).
A self composed course is either a subject composed by the student or a subject previously offered by the Department of Media and Communication or other Departments/institutions.
The student is responsible for finding a supervisor for their self composed course and the supervisor should be an employee of the Department of Media and Communication.
The student is to submit a short course description and a syllabus to the Department of Media and Communication for approval. The project should already have been approved and signed by the supervisor.
Deadline to submit the description and syllabus is October 1 in autumn semester and March 1 in spring semester.
The course codes for self composed courses are MEVIT4898 and/or MEVIT4899.
Learning outcome
If the subject has been composed by the student, the latter must provide a title, briefly describe the content focused in such a manner that one can see what the student is to learn from studying the subject, and produce a syllabus of 800 - 1000 pages.
