COURSE PROJECTS

The course project features Real Life Briefs which are a critical part of the curriculum. It requires participants to apply all practical techniques they've learned in the program in a Real Life Context.

Practical guidance will be offered throughout the course to ensure that theoretical learning is translated into practical proposals.
