European Project Semester (EPS) is a programme offered by several European universities to students who have completed at least two years of study. EPS is created with engineering students in mind, but other students who can participate in an engineering project are also welcome.
EPS is a mixture of “Project Related Courses” and project organized/problem based learning. It is crafted to address the design requirements of the degree and prepare engineering students with all the necessary skills to face the challenges of today’s world economy.
