Performing a case study is an integral part of participating in 'The international study tour' organized by Paradoks. Some examples of case studies are: a literature review, a market survey, performing experimental research, or participating in a design process. These case studies are performed under supervision of member of the scientific staff related to the BME program at the University of Twente active in the chosen field of study. The case study should comprise between 120 and 150 hours and can be performed in a company, a research institute (e.g. a research group at the University of Twente) or a hospital. The subject should be related to the BME master track and/or the student’s personal focus area. The chosen subject may have a direct relationship with the aim and content of the study tour, but this is not mandatory. The assignment is concluded by a written report.
