The course includes elements to work in teams, to identify a professional role, as well as to deepen skills to work with complex design problems with the user in the centre. The student is given the opportunity to partly independently deepen her/his ability to work methodically with design-related problems in a real life perspective. The student will collaborate in groups, and with external actors from business, state and/or the municipality. Supervision is done by industrial designers and/or comparable disciplines.

Hot Team project work, 6 credits In this course, the student will conduct design projects in interdisciplinary teams. Students from different levels, institutions and education programs, will participate, and the aim is for the student to be trained to work in interdisciplinary teams with a focus on cooperation. The student shall through practice carry out a project in cooperation with an external company, organization or authority. The students should apply and reflect over group mechanisms and individual factors that affect their own part in the project as well as the team work. They should also reflect upon the differences between project work and interdisciplinary teamwork. During this course, the students in each team build a studio for their work.
