Content

In a project group, students experience the entire research cycle for a simple facilities issue, from defining the scope of the assignment to reporting, including making recommendations. Data are collected based on an internal and external analysis, as well as using various quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on the results of the exploratory study, students develop and report on policy for both new and existing facility services, taking recent developments and the requirements of the organisation and clients into account. Specific attention is paid to hospitality and sustainability, while the latest or adapted services are also elaborated at process and information level.
