During the fourth semester, students are asked to carry out a consulting project for a client company. Students choose from among a list of projects selected by their tutors within the topic areas covered in the programme.
Students are expected to base their work and their recommendations to the client organisation on sound research, using the methodologies learned in the third semester.
Students work in teams and are tutored by faculty members who support them in managing their contacts with the company, in developing the project and in preparing the final report and the presentation to the client. During the field project period, teams attend research laboratories to present and discuss the intermediary results of their consulting activity with the members and tutors of other teams.
