5 ects for the work in the COIL, this is a collaborative effort and is presented to an industry partner/assignment provider from the industry. The results are graded through a rubric including the different activities required for the COIL.  All the collected activities are presented in a Google Site (done before)

5 ects for an individual research abstract and poster presentation, fit for use at an international conference.

5 ects for the focus on the personal learning journey achieved through the workshops and the other forms of instruction and research. This is done in the form of a reflection, as a condition organisation and participation of the workshops have been met. a part of the focus is on their own personal education experience and how this has, or has not enabled them to be ready for the future.
