The final project covers all core areas. In their final projects, students must document their understanding of practice and key theories and methods based on a practice-oriented problem statement. The problem statement, which is prepared by the student, must be of central relevance to the professional careers of graduates in design, technology and business, revolving around either a public or private company. KEA Design approves the problem statement. The project concludes with a report and, if relevant, a product.

In combination with the other exams, the final project is intended to demonstrate that the student has attained the level of achievement expected at the end of the programme.

Students must be able to justify their choice of a particular problem statement. The problem statement, which must be of key relevance to the programme and the profession, is drawn up by the student, possibly in collaboration with a private or public company.
The head of education may grant an exemption from this requirement, for example in connection with entrepreneurial projects, students starting up their own business etc.
Students are responsible for finding a company with which to work. The problem statement for the project must be approved by the supervisor before the start of the project period and must incorporate the student’s specialisation. The problem statement must be approved in connection with the first supervisory session at the latest.
