Project based research training

This course is intended for students who wants to learn more about agricultural research and research methods. It is based on individual projects in order for you to be able to choose and plan for a project within the field of your interest.



With the support of a supervisor, you will identify a scientific problem to work with for the duration of the course. Your main focus will be on learning a research method, and the project itself can take place in a laboratory, in field or in a greenhouse. Along with your practical work you will also do literature studies in order to learn about the theoretical background of the method used, and to be able to compare it with other research methods within the field. The course will provide you with an insight into the research process and the work of a research group.
