Educational philosophy
The second-year students are acquainted with professional practice at the end of their second year through an internship. The students must arrange their own placement at a design firm and prepare a plan describing their learning objectives. This plan is discussed with the department head and following approval the student carries out this plan. The plan also justifies the choice of the internship.
The student must answer questions such as: Where am I in my training in relation to the professional practice? Which aspects of this do I want to concentrate on during my graduation year?

The student develops organisational skills and gains professional experience. The student reflects on their own position both in the educational process and in future professional practice. The student learns to verbalise their experiences.

Methodology
The students write a plan of action. After consultation with the department head, the students organises their own internship. The student writes a placement report and presents this. The internship will be evaluated afterwards.
