Experiential Learning

For-credit Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research topics will be approved by CIEE Copenhagen Academic staff and the home institution and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Denmark. To be accepted into this course, students must submit a structured proposal with a topic of exploration, significance of research topic as it relates to Denmark, methodology, a literature review, and a schedule of research milestones. Upon research completion, students will present their findings to a panel of academics. An example of a recent project is, “The Unsustainable Green and the Looming Nuclear Age: An Analysis of the Misrepresentation of Biomass and Nuclear Energy in Danish and International Environmental Policy and its Impact on Europe’s Energy Transition.” Students interested must submit additional application materials during course selection.
