The »Team Supervision« option

In addition to your Guided Project you can take the »Team Supervision« module part with 6 ECTS. The 12 ECTS are awarded for the project work, the 6 ECTS for the team supervision. Team supervision is an additional course that introduces students to the dynamics of teamwork, teaches analytical methods for improving teamwork (e.g. role definition, conflict recognition and management) and thus supports the teams in their work.

The »Team Supervision« component always relates to the specific team project you work in. You can combine it with any Guided Project; projects no longer need to be offered with a Team Supervision component from the outset. Registration therefore takes two steps instead of one.

The option is open to Master Digital Sciences students only, and only in combination with a Guided Project worth 12 ECTS.
