About the Program

The educational profile of the master's course in Product Design and Design of Porcelain, Ceramics and Glass combines the skills of conventional product design with innovative strategies and the techniques of studio design and applied art – in other words: "Working like a craftsman – thinking like a designer". The focus of the course of study is the refining of materials-related design and presentation skills, with an emphasis on fine ceramic materials – mainly porcelain – and also on glass. In addition, master's students are encouraged to develop intelligent product concepts using other relevant materials – in contexts such as tabletop, interiors or regional design, for example. The course has a modular structure and is project-oriented, allowing students to formulate their own study goals.
