Portfolio and Exhibition

"Portfolio and Graduation Exhibition" is a comprehensive practical design project where students further develop techniques and skills within their field, including project management. The course builds on knowledge and skills acquired earlier in the study program and is largely student-driven.

Students are responsible - under the guidance of faculty - for creating their own portfolio consisting of self-selected projects. The target audience(s) for the portfolio are defined, and the portfolio is designed and presented for assessment and the graduation exhibition. The portfolio should help students communicate their knowledge and skills when applying for jobs or further studies.

The student group organising the exhibition will be responsible for managing logistical factors related to the execution and promotion of the final exhibition.
