| Course Description | Within the scope of the teamwork groups of three students (max four) will prepare a project with the guidance of an assigned supervisor covering the related issues discussed throughout the program including international energy security and geopolitics, and they will present their projects at the end of the semester. In an ideal project it is expected to adopt the students an analytical approach by combining their theoretical and practical knowledge on advanced energy issues and work from a different perspective. During the semester, students improve their skills related to project management by managing on the project proposal, literature review, data collection and processing, reporting and presentation. |
