What we run for universities

Assessment & Juries

Final projects developed in stages and defended twice: to faculty at an internal jury, then to working professionals who hold the final 40 marks.

Every PGA course ends with a final project, announced around session 8 or 9 and developed in visible stages: concept, drafts, iterations, execution. A project shown without its development stages isn’t accepted.

Before the final assessment, students are trained to present: explaining a concept, describing a process, justifying decisions and answering critique. They then defend the complete project at an internal jury with faculty, mount it on project pasting day, and present it one by one to an external jury of professionals from studios, agencies, media companies and production houses.

At least two external jurors assess each course, more as the cohort grows. They score against a rubric and hold the final 40 marks.
