Dissertation

During the 1st and 2nd semester students will be participating in the Design workshops which are practical classes in which ideas from lectures and seminars may be tested out, or new concepts introduced and explored. These may vary from IT sessions in which students are introduced to particular pieces of software, to practical modeling classes in which prototypes are designed and tested. There is an emphasis upon divergent thinking, risk-taking, developing adductive reasoning and creative expression. Depending on the focus of the workshop, students may work independently or in groups.

A Dissertation is taken in the third semester.  This is an independent research study, supported by training in research methods, on a topic in international management/design.
