Introduction

No coursework requirements/compulsory activities.

Learning outcomes

The exam consists of a group project report and an oral presentation. The report should build on experience the students acquire through the course and from carrying out the project in the field of practice.. The report should be around 15 pages in length, +/- 10%. The font and size should be Calibri 12 pt with a line spacing of 1.5. The approved APA reference style for academic writing should be followed. The oral presentation is prepared through a process-oriented workshop prior to the exam with the entire class.

The report and presentation are evaluated together, and active participation from all students in the preparations and execution of both the group project report and the oral presentation is required to pass the exam.

Candidates who do not pass, or who have a valid absence from the written exam, can sit for a resit/deferred exam. Students who do not participate in preparations or who have a valid absence from the oral part of the exam will complete an adapted individual presentation.

If there are students from abroad participating in the course, the oral presentation will be conducted in English. Project groups with students from abroad will write their project report in English.

Content

The course promotes knowledge about design as a professional subject. It comprises two periods, where the first period of about two weeks is a preliminary course focusing on different methods or knowledge related to the profession. The second period lasting the remaining four weeks is a collaboration between the bachelor students on all three years of the programme. The students will be divided into groups across classes. In this period, students will practise the theory/subject matter they have learnt from the first period, where the groups work with an external client and/or on external issues.
