  • Purpose and learning objectives

    The bachelor project, together with the internship exam and the other exams in the programme, must document that the programme's goals for learning outcomes have been achieved. The bachelor project must document the student's understanding of and ability to reflect on the practice of the profession as well as their application of theories and methods in relation to a practice-orientated problem. The identified problem, which must be central to the programme and the profession, is formulated by the student, possibly in cooperation with a private or public company. The educational institution must approve the problem statement.

    Reference is made to the current Ministerial Order on Exams in Professionally Oriented Higher Education Programmes and section 5.
    Within the overall learning objectives, the student writes a proposal for a Bachelor project.

    The problem must be central to the programme and the profession and must include at least two of the traditional design phases of construction. This is to ensure that the bachelor project makes out a representative sample of the programme’s goals.

    The problem, which is defined in consultation with the supervisor and, most appropriately, in collaboration with a private or public company or client, must explain the background, focus areas and technical issues that the student intends to work with.

    The examination in the bachelor project involves an oral defence based on the prepared material, either hung on boards or presented digitally.
    Type of assignment
    The project planning assignment is based on renovation.

    The student must act as an architect/engineer and as such complete project planning for a selected building. A preliminary investigation is carried out involving surveying, registration and analysis in order to gain as thorough an understanding as possible of the selected building, its history, value and condition. In addition, a project and tender dossier must be prepared for specific renovation measures.

    Any requirements of form and scope will be handed out during the teaching.
