About the Program

The Industrial Design study programme teaches the variety of methods used in design processes in the search for future-oriented design solutions for issues in an increasingly complex living environment - through the experimental design of products and processes as a contribution to a sustainable everyday culture. Industrial design competences are in demand when new products, modes of interaction or forms of production are sought: Concepts for socially just and ecologically sustainable management and production, resource-saving technologies and materials or responsible and inclusive use of digitalisation. The eight-semester Bachelor's study programme trains students to experiment in design processes and to put them into practice in excellently equipped workshops and laboratories. Professional skills are developed in project studies, including knowledge of analogue and digital design tools, recognition of opportunities and fields of action, confidence in independent problem solving, and sensitivity to object and action qualities.
