In 2021, we expect there will be 117 students, so 17 project teams of 6 and 3 teams of 5. We aim to advertise at least 22 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2025, we expect there will be NNN students, so XX project teams of 6. We aim to advertise at least YY design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
