Students are able to analyse a topic using academic methods and findings from an academic and operational perspective and develop solutions. They demonstrate that they are familiar with academic working methods, argumentation techniques and the requirements of academic work and are able to fulfil them. They have mastered the preliminary work required to prepare for a piece of academic writing, such as research in resources other than electronic media, and are able to familiarise themselves with unknown topics and to develop and evaluate alternative courses of action, taking into account the existing literature and requirements. During the final oral examination, students present their findings in a structured manner and defend them in academic discourse.
