From the aspects of built environment and structural design the student learns about sustainability and regenerative design.

The aim is for students to have a basic knowledge of concepts and ways of thinking about sustainability and regenerative design. The student is also familiar with up-to-date information, agreements and literature on the subject. Furthermore, the participants should anchor and concretise these issues in their own professional role and work.

Innehåll

Sustainability
Regenerative design

The degree thesis is part of the student's personal competence profile. In the degree thesis, the student will apply theoretical models to practical problems. The student must also show that they can handle complex problems independently within their area of competence and can work logically and methodically. The student should be able to work in a scientific way and use reference material and external sources of knowledge.

Innehåll

The thesis consists of a practical application and an associated theoretical analysis. The written design must follow Novia's writing instructions for a degree thesis. The thesis also includes a public presentation of the thesis and a written maturity test.

The degree thesis can be started when students have sufficient knowledge in the form of approved professional studies and methodology studies. The work begins with students drawing up a work and / or research plan for the process.The plan presents at least subject choices, language, work title, a preliminary outline and schedule. The plan must be approved by the head of the degree program. In connection with the approval of the plan, supervisors are appointed for degree work.
