Thesis
The thesis project (Major Project) aims to enable students to develop their own design project, taking into account what they have learnt during the course. It is also intended to encourage students to demonstrate a high level of professional competence and to have a deep understanding of the social and philosophical context in which they are working. Students are expected to demonstrate the entrepreneurial potential of their ideas and understand the future possibilities and contexts in which these ideas will exist. Students critically reflect on their own learning and prepare for continued professional development.
