Annotation
The Bachelor’s degree course in Design is application-oriented and focuses on project studies. Practical design work is taught in project-based courses and tested in study workshops. From the beginning, your work will be project-based: you will learn to formulate your own design questions based on observations and research, to test, discard and refine ideas – until you arrive at a compelling design (and later, your Bachelor’s project, the BA).
You will train the skills that a designer needs today:
design, sustainability & social responsibility, design methods (including research-based approaches), critical reflection, presentation/portfolio, teamwork, feedback culture – all within the context of current topics such as the circular economy, ethics, digital production and AI.
