The course aims to introduce students to scholarly research's spirit, mentality and practices. The focus is on `how' designers conduct research independently as the basis for a convincing argument (`thesis') and on `why' designers conduct research, on the role and position the designer can adopt in carrying out the research. In other words, how to acquire, organise, analyse, synthesize and communicate research findings. And on the kind of researchable and relevant problems, the designer can identify from an informed and limited perspective. Accordingly, teaching/learning activities revolve around the critical elaboration of a research experience that starts with selecting a topic valid in the broader professional context. The students are engaged in building a research 'report' as a learning process and outcome of it. The final report is the foundation and part of the diploma work.
The course is for students in the last semester before their diploma. Those who pass can enrol for the diploma. The course runs physically and digitally. Digital participation is required at the same rate as physically
