The ‘Concept Development with Industry’ module on the 4th semester of the bachelor programme in Digital Media and Design is mandatory for all students in the programme. The study activity in the module is defined as a project of 15 ECTS credits. The project work is organized in this project cluster, combining lectures and students working in groups. All groups will work on a project within the same case from either the public sector or industry. The participating organisation will present the class with an overall challenge and each group will identify a sub-set of this case to work on. The project cluster will have some similarities with a conventional course but the aim of the readings and activities (lectures, exercises, presentations etc. during the semester) will increasingly be to facilitate and inspire student work on their projects and equip the students to work in depth with both theoretical and methodological aspects within the subject of concept development in relation to their specific industry case. The student projects will be written in groups. All projects are defined by a project agreement written by the students in a group following the supervisor's instructions. The project agreement must be put in the online project base by the students. All project agreements must be approved by one of the supervisors running the project cluster. ----- See the schedule here: link to the time table The schedule will be available shortly before the beginning of the term.
Following the hand-in of project reports which students have registered in the project base there will be an individual oral project examination for each student held by the ITU supervisor and an external examiner. The student will receive a grade after the oral examination. The grade is based on both the written and oral performance and is given after the Danish 7-point grading scale system.
