Objectives
The course aims at theoretical, artistic and/or practical in-depth study of a relevant theme presented by the course management at the start of every course. The flexible nature of the course means that the general learning objectives of the course should be clarified at the start of every course.
After having completed the course, the student should be able to:
• carry out a theoretical, artistic and/or practical in-depth study of a theme
• present the results of the in-depth study of a theme in a convincing way
• reflect on methods, apply theories and results with regard to the actual in-depth study of the theme.
Content
This course connects to occasional projects and studies that can contribute to diversity and quality in the student’s education. The theme can consist of an applied practical task or a research-related issue. Another area suitable as a theme is participation in architecture competitions. The students, in consultation with course management, are given major responsibility for the design and content of the course. The in-depth study of the theme can be carried out individually or in groups. Within the course, quality, theory/reflection, reporting and presentation are emphasised.
The course comprises in-depth studies of relevant themes. These studies are either group work or individual tasks, and may sometimes be scheduled, in which case they usually are compulsory. This is explained in detail when the course starts.
The course focuses on the following general competencies: creative thinking, critical thinking, problem solving, oral and written communication, ability to work autonomously.
