All the graduating BA-students have now completed their final exam presentations! It only remains for them to set up the graduation exhibition. Then the rest of the life lies ahead.

• The graduating students start working on their chosen BA projects in the beginning of the spring term. They work with their projects for about 3 months. In May it is time to officially present their projects. First, the candidate will give a talk about his or her project. Then the candidate gets to sit down and drink som mineral water, while answering questions from the two examiners. In the end the audience gets to ask questions aswell. The point is not to arrest the student, but rather to start a conversation. The examinations are open, so everyone who happens to be interested can come and listen. Many consider these presentations as the highlight of the year, and we can often spot some former students in the audience.
