Website Deliverables & Dates

Due to COVID-19, there won’t be any physical diploma exhibition. Therefore the diploma projects are going to be presented mainly through the IAD website. Next to the IAD website, the DDE will launch a separate one, where all design diploma projects from the BA and MA will be presented in a crisp form. It serves mainly as a distribution platform, linking to the websites from individual subject areas.
