Included in study programme
Master's programme in Design (2021)

Brief course description

The Master Project is the study programme’s final course. Each student works with a larger self- chosen project, with supervision from a professional staff member from the area of specialization. The project should be a natural development of themes and practices which the student has worked with during the study programme.

The student will write a project description which includes a formulation of the choice of theme, work method(s) and the expected result. This project description will be updated three times during the semester, in advance of three ‘milestones’. These are times when the student presents his or her project for fellow-students and for selected members of the professional staff responsible for the area of specialization. The project ends with an open oral presentation, as part of the master’s degree exhibition.

The course’s learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the students will:

  • be able to define, contextualize and develop an extensive independent project, not only in the choice of theme but also in the choice of medium and work strategies – based on their own practice and field of interest.
  • be able to carry out the project in accordance with the defined goals and timetable.
  • be able to present, critically reflect on, and communicate their project to others – visually, orally, and through an exhibition.

Teaching and learning methods

Independent work, studio/workshop-based work, evaluation sessions during the semester, plenary sessions, tutorials/guidance sessions.

Coursework requirements:

  • completion and submission of all assignments by the scheduled deadlines
  • participation in instruction and activities that are defined as mandatory in the course description

Assessment

Coursework requirements must be met in order for the student to receive a final assessment in the course. The student’s work is assessed in relation to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria set for the course.

External and internal examiners will evaluate the Master project. The course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
