About the Program

This program was developed out of the desire to integrate design into social processes to enable change. Legal and political questions are immediately evident in public dealings with social problems, language, and communication. The structures of these manifestations can be visually documented and expressed transparently. This transparency can be of elementary importance in legal and political discussions and decisions. An interdisciplinary body consisting of jurists, political scientists, philosophers, and designers challenges students on the content-related aspects of their work and provides theoretical orientation. The problems to be addressed are selected in the context of current social issues, in collaboration with human rights organizations, institutes, associations, and other relevant entities. The program is part of the Certificate Program that offers interdisciplinary studies spanning 2 or 3 semesters, depending on prior education, professional training, or work experience.
