FSD1-P110 Semester Project

The semester concludes with a project where the candidate must demonstrate practical skills and competence from all first-semester courses. The aim is to conduct a practical project and create a service design prototype based on independently conducted research, ideation, and concept work. Candidates work independently or in a group on a project, which must be planned, documented, and executed according to project criteria. The candidate also prepares a project plan and an individual reflection report documenting the process and choices made along the way.

The project challenges candidates to use and combine accumulated competence from the previous courses and showcase how they can complete larger projects, individually or across disciplinary boundaries. Candidates are challenged to think and work holistically, which provides a solid platform for further learning and understanding of the service design vocation.

The candidate presents the results from the project to course teachers, an eventual client, and fellow students after submission. The project can open for teamwork, real-world client projects, or interdisciplinary cooperation projects across disciplines.

The course gives the students a practical opportunity to apply all skills and areas from previously taught courses in a concrete and hands-on context in the shape of a project.
