Subject matter
The Project Work is one of the forms of completion of the master program foreseen in the legislation of the Master's Degree in Human Ecology. It can be done according to one of two alternative modalities:
- Conception of an original research project dealing with a subject relevant to the area of human ecology, with a depth suitable for carrying out research leading, in a second phase, to a doctoral degree.
- Design and development of an original application of the knowledge and skills acquired during the attendance of the programme to the satisfaction of identified social, cultural and/or economic purposes, describing the project objectives and (s) context (s) of application, identifying potential target groups, and justifying material and human resources allocated for its implementation.
The master's student must also prepare the presentation and public discussion of his/her project highlighting its relevance to the progress of scientific knowledge in the area of human ecology
