Bachelor's Programme in Industrial Design

Design tomorrow at one of Europe’s leading design schools. Here, you will learn to take ideas from vision to reality through a creative, people-centred design process. The programme emphasises sustainable, norm-critical design practices that address social and ecological challenges, encouraging students to explore new ways of life and imagine better futures.

While studying

Throughout the programme, you will work on real-world projects with companies, organisations and authorities, tackling challenges from digital solutions to medical aids and industrial equipment. Through sketching, prototyping and hands-on work in our workshops and digital labs, you will bring your ideas to life.

The programme encourages exploration, experimentation, and play, allowing you to forge your own path as a designer. Collaboration is key, with small classes fostering close connections and a creative, culturally diverse environment. Guided by professional industrial designers, you will develop research-based, critical thinking and challenge systems and norms to become an agent of change. The student-teacher relationship is supportive and non-hierarchical, with teachers acting as mentors.

Design techniques

Between major project work, you will take in-depth courses in several design techniques:

  • Sketching and visualisation techniques
  • Form and colour studies
  • Model and workshop techniques
  • Communication strategies
  • Digital 3D modelling (CAD)

Career opportunities

The programme’s close ties with companies – including a ten-week internship – make students attractive in the job market. Graduates go on to work as industrial designers in diverse fields – from consumer products to healthcare, mobility, and digital experiences. Many join leading design consultancies or international companies, while others pursue entrepreneurial paths or continue to advanced studies.
