Course history

Introduction

The course deals with how we understand other cultural groups and how it creates the basis for and influences the design process and the result. Furthermore, the course focuses on the complexity of communication and the communication’s importance for the process, product and dissemination.

Required preliminary courses

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • is aware of the role and importance of design in social development as well as to individuals, and how they have varied historically and in the present age. This also relates to future opportunities for the role and importance of design in society and to individuals.
  • is aware of his/her own professional role and understands it in relation to both a contemporary and a historical social context

Skills

The student

  • is capable of developing new perspectives and using analysis and critical reflection on the basis of his/her own understanding of the importance and role of design to social development and individuals
  • is capable of critically reflecting on future opportunities for the role and importance of design in society and to individuals
  • is capable of putting his/her own professional role in perspective and of using analysis in projects to identify opportunities and limitations to his/her own professional role
  • masters written and oral discussion and argumentation on the basis of his/her own understanding of the importance and role of design to social development and individuals

Competence

The student is capable of

  • seeing him/herself and his/her own work in a human and global context
  • exchanging points of view and experience with others with backgrounds in the field and in this way contribute to developing good practice
  • reflecting on his/her own development in the learning process and adjusting it under supervision

Learning outcomes
