Assessment Project report including project seminar and oral examination Marking scale 13-pointscale, external evaluation Form of instructionCompulsory overnight course during the first week, lectures and workshops during the following 8 weeks.
Group work throughout the course.
Prerequisites 24 credits in relevant courses, i.e. animal husbandry, crop production, forestry or economy. Considering land use development in a holistic way. Collaborating with specialists in other fields than their own. Rationale Land use development projects have so far had an unfortunate tendency to be formulated and implemented in isolation from related fields and without co-ordination with overall development strategies. The thematic course deliberately seeks to remove mental barriers between students in crop production, animal husbandry, forestry and economy and hereby contributes to enhance collaboration in future land use projects.
