Guidelines for archiving your degree project:¶


* A digital and a paper copy (A3) of your degree project must be archived. These two should contain the same document, ie. be identical. At the same time, this is your final submission of your project. The material submitted for archiving must document your project in its entirety and, along with your review, is a basis for examination.
* The submission cannot be changed afterwards.
* You will receive more information about the exact date and time of the final submission during the semester.
* All degree projects at KTH must have a standard cover page. Fill in the cover page with the information that applies to your degree project, replace the picture on the template with an image from your degree project (if you wish) and add the standard cover page as the first page of your degree project.
* The physical submission is simply a printed version of the digital submission, on A3 paper, single sided. It can be portrait or landscape, and there is no limit to the number of pages you submit. If you have files that cannot be printed, for instance films, you should save these on a USB and hand these in as well (the USB will not be returned).
* The material submitted for archiving must document your project in its entirety and, along with your review, is a basis for examination. It should therefore include (1) a reproduction of your presentation panels, (2) any additional drawings or text that you plan to present at the Diploma Days review (including sketches, if part of the presentation), and (3) photographs of any non-digital representations that you plan to present at the Diploma Days review (i.e., photographs of hand drawings, paintings, etc., as well photographs of physical models). The submission should be clearly marked with your name, your studio, the names of your supervisors, and the title of the project.
* You have to upload the digital copy (pdf) to DiVA, the publication database that KTH uses. Try to keep the PDF size as small as possible. Use Adobe PDF Printers - Select "Print" instead of "Save". Minimize the DPI as much as possible.
