Design in Collaboration
Freestanding course
About the course
This course is for students who have completed 4 semesters within a design education and want to use their skills and collaborate to solve assignments for external actors. It is a project-driven course where the students work in interdisciplinary teams with cases from external actors. The course is based on research-based design methodology to work holistically with real issues in dialogue with external actors and stakeholders. The actors can be companies or organizations that have clarified a problem area. In the course, students develop and deepen design principles to work with problems and challenges in different fields, and they will gain a better understanding of their own skills in a professional environment.

Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
