What will the real-life situation be after design schools have implemented the Bologna BA/MA system?
What if it was already in place ? How would we use it?

The Bologna Future Lab is bringing that scenario to the real-life of design education.
From a simple set of rules the participating schools commit themselves to play out the scenario.

The rules are:

1) Transfer of ECTS points – the project shall be ETCS point authorized within the schools.
2) Wide information about what the schools have to offer,- semester plan
3) 3-5 schools (eventual more groups)
4) 3-5 students and one teacher from each school
5) Students should be at the same educational level (4 semester?)
6) Students shall have there travel and stay funded
7) student shall participate in selected courses on each school during this semester
8) Participating students shall be considered as an international semester class.(15-20 students)
9) Evaluation with participating of all students and teachers.

Main questions:

Institutional education strategy – ”politics”
From Bologna to the student
Ideology exchange? the dilemmas
What does the profession look like
Premises for collaboration and productive networking
Design as a distinct discourse of it's own

Practicalities:
