The Eu­ro­pean Project Se­mes­ter (EPS) is a one semester pro­gramme of­fered by 18 uni­ver­si­ties from 12 European coun­tries to stu­dents who have com­pleted at least two years of study. 
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 in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary teams of 3–6 stu­dents on their projects, and most of the projects are interdisciplinary. Some projects are done in co­op­er­a­tion with com­mer­cial busi­nesses and in­dus­tries, other projects are more aca­d­e­mic. Stu­dents learn to learn and to take re­spon­s­ibil­ity for their learn­ing and their project work and they de­velop their in­ter-­cul­tural com­pe­tences, their com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills and their interpersonal skills.
