The semester concludes with a graded project where the candidate must demonstrate practical skills and competence from courses in the first semester. Candidates work independently or in a group on a project, which must be planned, documented and executed according to project criteria. The aim is to carry out a practical project consisting of elements from the previous courses. The candidate also prepares a project plan and an individual reflection report documenting the process and choices made along the way. The project can open for teamwork, real client projects, or interdisciplinary cooperation projects across disciplines.

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
