Description
The sustainable operation within a professional environment is critically analyzed and applied. The Professional Practice gives the student an opportunity to draw a close connection to the practice. Through working on studies, competitions or real projects, the students gain a deeper insight into the different areas of professional projects: feasibility studies, preliminary projects, construction projects, building and execution projects, and building sites visits or supervision. In collaborating in real projects, students are enabled to complement their theoretical studies with practice-relevant work.
