FAL3502 Project in Environmental Strategic Analysis 10 10.0 credits

The course is directed to PhD students in Environmental strategic research, and is done as a project work. The work should contain elements such as goal formulation, data gathering, presentation and discussion or analysis of results. An example of a relevant project can be a research project performed for an agency or a company and presented in a user friendly report.

The project should normally be separate from the students PhD thesis work. If the project work and the thesis work overlap, it should be clearly explained. The project can be done in cooperation with others. If so, the contribution of the student and of co-workers should be clearly described. The project work should equal 270 hours of fulltime work. Overlaps with PhD work and work done by other contributors to the project should not be included.

The aim of the course is to give deeper insights in topics of relevance for environmental strategic analysis.

The course is primarily open for PhD students in environmental strategic analysis.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• RAP1 - Report, 10.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

A summary of the project must be written by the PhD student in collaboration with the responsible supervisor. The summary should contain name of the project, financing, project partners, description of work in the project and amount of hours full time in total, description of the PhD students tasks and otherco-workers role in them, and published result. The summary should be sent to, and approved by, the contact person for the course before the course can be examined. 

Examination of the course is normally done through a written report, but in special cases an oral presentations can be accepted as examination.
