Initially, lectures are given by both teachers from KTH and external experts from industrial companies. After this, the student may choose a project assignment that is performed under the supervision of an internal or external expert. The project assignment is presented at a seminar and in a report.

Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- PRO1 - Project, 7.5 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.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
