Project Course in Horticulture
Kursen skall ge inblick i metoder som kan användas för problemlösning samt ge träning att planera, genomföra och redovisa ett projektarbete. Genom att arbeta med konkreta problemställningar i samarbete med trädgårdsföretag får studenten kunskap om aktuella frågor inom trädgårdsnäringen. Projektarbetet sker antingen individuellt eller i grupp kombinerat med individuella litteraturstudier där studenten får möjlighet att använda, fördjupa och bredda sina kunskaper från tidigare kurser.

The course is intended to provide students with insights into methods that can be used for working with problems and will provide training in planning, carrying out and reporting a project. It will also provide students with the opportunity to apply, deepen and broaden their knowledge from previous studies. Through collaboration with a business, students will gain a greater insight into relevant issues in the horticultural industry.
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
describe some of the methods that can be used to work on issues and problems relevant for the horticultural industry
plan, carry out and report a project and orally present their work in a form adapted to the target group
work on new issues and discuss and assess alternative solutions using knowledge from previous studies, in combination with location, analysis and summation of information in the relevant area.
Content
Project methodology and communication tools for stakeholder participation are introduced in the form lectures, seminars and course literature. The majority of the course consists of independent work on student projects, individually or in groups with individual in-depth analyses. The project must be decided in consultation with the examiner and supervisor at SLU. The work will be carried out in collaboration with a host company and must result in a written report, which must also include a review of relevant scientific literature.
