The project topic may be of a reviewing or research type, or connected to a specific building or construction project in the design or construction phase. A short course in research methods is included as a part of the project work. The course must be passed before the specialisation project may be passed. Project topics may be within project management, design management, construction engineering, production technology in building and construction, or combinations of these. The project work may be conducted individually or through student groups, and shall result in a project report. The specialisation project will normally be a pilot study for the following master thesis.
