The Field Project consists in a consultancy study on behalf of a firm, conducted by a group of 2-3 students under the supervision of a professor (“tutor”) for a standard duration of 4 months.

The aim of the Field Project is to provide students with:

  • experience in project management
  • contact with a real “client”
  • experience in group projects (mixed groups!)
  • It is meant to provide a bridge between theoretical and practical knowledge.

The field project is carried out during the 3rd semester of the Master in Management and Informatics program, from September to mid-December. Students work on the project in parallel with the regular study program.
