  • Formål

    In the final specialisation module, the students are provided with the relevant tools within product solutions, production methods, processes, systems and consumption patterns to be able to come from idea into a final product solutions.

    Based on a business case or their own entrepreneurial project, students must come up with a solution adapted to the company’s DNA and user needs in line with a chosen design strategy.

    The module is concerned with the creation of sustainable design solutions for the business or the entrepreneurial project. Work is being done with a focus on research conducted in previous modules, business DNA and user experience.

    Focus is on design, prototyping and staging. The module concludes with a collection made by the students and the production of a Fashion Film presenting the concept and design solution.

    The specialisation concludes with a project hand-in, an exhibition as well as the pitch of the project.

    Forudsætninger for indstilling til eksamen
    Specialisation module 5 includes 3 mandatory activities.

    It is a prerequisite that the student hands in a project hand-in (1) which will be evaluated by their lectures and peers. The student must also take part in the final oral and visual presentation of the process and the product (2) which will be evaluated orally in class. Finally, the students must hand in or present their process book (3) will be evaluated by their lectures and peers.

    Students who do not participate in the final oral presentation must instead hand in a written substitute assignment in order to meet the mandatory requirement.

    Prøveform
    Kombineret skriftlig og mundtlig prøve
    Opgavetype
    The assignment takes as its starting point a specialisation-specific keyword, which will be disclosed at the start of the exam period. Based on the key word, the student formulates a problem which they will elaborate on in a free written paper which must include methods, processes and analyses. During the exam period, the student must carry out empirical work, the analysis of which must form part of the written paper and be further elaborated on at the oral exam.

    During the exam period, the student develops a solution and prepares a presentation both of which they will bring along to the oral exam. The solution may be material and/or immaterial. However, it is important that the solution is oriented towards the specialisation and the profession that the student is training for. The quality of the solution should be such as is to be expected of a professional bachelor in Design and Business. There must always be consistency in the corelation between the type of solution, its quality and the professional standard and learning objectives of the line of specialisation.
    Formkrav
    The scope of the written paper is 5 standard pages +/-10%. The written paper must, as a minimum, include:
    • Table of contents
    • Introduction
