Degree Project Collaborations
The final term is devoted to the degree project. Outlines for degree projects are similar to the ones given for standard term projects, but are always carried out individually. Each spring, between 30-40 unique degree projects are carried out in collaboration with different companies.
Each student chooses and defines the project to be worked on and establishes contact and cooperation with a company. Project definitions are always discussed and refined with the company concerned. An external professional designer is employed as tutor during the course of the project. The company participates during the project when it is relevant for both parties.
In several cases the student has spent periods of time working at the company concerned. Each student proposes a budget for his or her project to include costs such as materials, travel and the final exhibition. The results will be publicized in the form of photographs, publications, websites, etc.
