    Design for Government 2023

    About the course

    Design for Government (DfG) is a 12 cr.  practice-based course where every year students and stakeholders work together in a real contemporary national-level policy challenge. We work with commissioned projects from the Finnish ministries and the public authorities.

    During the 12 weeks (Period IV and V), students work in groups of four to address the given challenges by applying a design approach combing: human-centred, systems thinking and behavioural interventions. See the DfG Design approach and course structure below. There is contact teaching on Monday 27.02 and Monday 24.04 (9.15 - 12); and every Wednesday (9.15 - 16h) during Period IV and V. 

    Because the project work is conducted independently and in teamwork outside of contact teaching hours, we recommend students to have flexible schedules during this time and not to take big courses in parallel. The course is 12 ECTS. This equals approximately 320 total hours of work, or 27 hours per week, which is roughly 3.5 full working days per week. Tentative distribution of student workload below:

    • 72h Contact teaching (lectures, group presentations, peer-to-peer learning)
    • 71h Reflection time
    • 43h Independent reading (selected articles, video lectures, group discussions) 
    • 90h Independent project work in teams
    • 43h Project communication and final delivery (final presentation, blog, final report)
    • 1h Course evaluation

    Before you apply to the course make the necessary arrangements so that you can enjoy the course fully!.

    Apply for Design for Government 2023 (9 January - 13 February 2023) 

    In the Design for Government course, the right mix of students and individual motivations is crucial. Addressing complex challenges benefits from a variety of backgrounds, skills and disciplines, while critical thinking and creativity are important for developing new frontiers of design in the governmental sector. We, therefore, do not admit students on a first-come-first-serve basis but through the application process described below. Applications are reviewed and selected by the teaching team (the final responsibility lies with the course leader). Please note that there is a specific quota allocated to the course and that the following students are prioritised: CS Students (15), CoID Students (5), Other students (4).
