Students will spend app. 412 hours on the course compared to 206 hours for the 7.5-version of the course, and hence the problem scope, depth and size of the theoretical and empirical material analysed is required to be substantially larger than with the 7.5 ECTS-course, allowing for substantially longer submissions that correspond with university regulations for 15 ECTS projects.
