Notes on: [[What makes a good project?]]


In 2019, we estimate there will be 106 students, so about 18 project teams of 6 (two with only 5 students). We aim to advertise at least 20 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2025, we expect there will be 124 students, so 21 project teams (19 teams of 6 and 2 teams of 5). We aim to advertise at least 23 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
