External collaborative activities

The Institute of Architecture and Design continuously strengthens and expands its collaboration with national and international companies, organisations and institutions.

This means that students gain experience in translating their learning into specific work situations. Meanwhile, the institute's partners get new angles, suggestions or prototypes around issues they’re working on and their projects.

For the institute, the collaboration with external partners supplies us with ongoing insights into trends and challenges in the surrounding community, including the industrial sector. Partnerships are of significant importance to the relevance of our educational programmes.
