About the Course

The course provides knowledge of professional tasks and skills in close cooperation with a group or external clients over a longer period of time. The course provides insight into client follow-up in a professional environment and working with both short and long deadlines. Candidates work independently, or as part of a group, on real-world projects from the industry to acquire practical experience in a professional setting. The course can be completed as an intern in a company. 

If candidates are not working on a real-world project, alternative case projects will be presented by the teacher. The assignments may vary in difficulty and size and consist of one or more projects. The teacher function here as the project manager with regular follow-up. The course builds on competence from all previous courses.

The aim of the course is to provide students valuable experience from working in the industry and taking part in daily tasks and routines. Candidates are challenged on workflow and mindset in relation to the working life and the ability to explain technical specifications communicated through Building Information Models.
