In the final specialisation module, the students are provided with the relevant tools within product solutions, production methods, processes, systems and consumption patterns to be able to come from idea into a final product solutions.

Based on a business case or their own entrepreneurial project, students must come up with a solution adapted to the company’s DNA and user needs in line with a chosen design strategy.

The module is concerned with the creation of sustainable design solutions for the business or the entrepreneurial project. Work is being done with a focus on research conducted in previous modules, business DNA and user experience.

Focus is on design, prototyping and staging. The module concludes with a collection made by the students and the production of a Fashion Film presenting the concept and design solution.

The specialisation concludes with a project hand-in, an exhibition as well as the pitch of the project.
