Industrial Design

The bachelor's program Industrial Design focuses on interactive systems, products and related services that change, intensify or make life more comfortable.
This field is all about innovation, creativity, technology, user needs, aesthetics, societal and business interests. New technologies and issues arising from societal trends are translated into innovations for everyday life. Students work, for example, on applications that can personalize cars, or on intelligent clothing that stimulates people to live a more active lifestyle.

The educational program of the bachelor's program Industrial Design is based on self-directed and competency-centered learning. You work as a junior employee in a design team on a design project together with fellow students. You are coached by several experts and work closely together with researchers of the department.

The international staff of the program comprises teachers and supervisors that are partly practitioners from the field. They have their own design firm or work for a company. No wonder there's a close collaboration with companies and institutions, and a considerable focus on project based learning.

Since Industrial Design is a very internationally oriented field, the official language of the bachelor's program is English.
