The [[http://europeanprojectsemester.eu|Eu­ro­pean Project Se­mes­ter]] (EPS) is a one-semester pro­gramme of­fered by 19 uni­ver­si­ties from 12 European coun­tries to stu­dents who have com­pleted at least two years of higher education studies. The concept EPS was created in Denmark by Prof. Arvid Andersen in 1995 with en­gi­neer­ing stu­dents in mind, but other stu­dents who can par­tic­i­pate in an en­gi­neer­ing project are also welcome. 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. EPS is a mix­ture of “Project Re­lated Courses” and project-organized/​problem-based learn­ing. Stu­dents work in in­ter­na­tional and usu­ally multi­dis­ci­pli­nary teams of 3 to 6 stu­dents on their projects, and most of the projects are interdisciplinary. Some projects are done in co­op­er­a­tion with busi­nesses and in­dus­tries, other projects with research laboratories. Stu­dents learn to learn, to take re­spon­s­ibil­ity for their learn­ing and their project work and de­velop in­ter-­cul­tural com­pe­tencies, com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills and interpersonal skills.
