Course detail

BA Seminar 2

FaVU-1-BAKS-2Acad. year: 2024/2025

The Bachelor’s seminar is the basic creative subject in the final semester of the Bachelor's degree programme. It provides students with support and guidance in the completion and installation phase of the Diploma Project. Students complete the physical implementation of the piece of work as per the assignment. During the semester, they may still modify sub-aspects of the formal design, remove dead ends, and refine technical parameters (in collaboration with the cabinets). In parallel, under the guidance of the KTDU teachers, they prepare the text part of the documentation of the diploma project. The Diploma Project is completed and installed before the deadline for submission of the documentation. The whole process of finalizing the Diploma Project is systematically verified through intensive consultations with the supervisor.
