Based on what they have learned, or are learning, in the companion course, and the skills and knowledge acquired in the social sciences courses of the ISTP curriculum, students identify a particular policy challenge to be addressed.

Voraussetzungen / Besonderes
Students can enroll in this unit exclusively in combination with another (companion) course to complete the Case Study requirements in the MSc ISTP. The unit allows students to carry out case studies on specific policy issues based on their individual preferences. The companion course should have a policy focus or deal with a policy rele-vant issue and can be taken either in parallel or prior to the Case Study Research Pa-per unit. The instructor of the companion course should be able and willing to also serve as the supervisor of the associated case study paper. After successfully completing the companion course and the research paper, the student office will assign both courses to the category case studies.
