In 2020, we estimate there will be 130 students, so about 22 project teams of 6. We aim to advertise at least 24 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.
