Institution Info

The Industrial Design programme integrates the following three study fields: Industrial Design,Ceramic/Glass Design and Toy/Learning Aid Design. Industrial design comprises conceptional design

strategies, sustainable design, product and systemic design as well as the design of digital products

and virtual scenery. As a Ceramic/Glass Design student, one learns to design individual pieces (studiodesign) and serial products for industrial production.

Toy and Learning Aid Design focuses on the design of objects for playing, on concepts for playful interaction and computer aided play, and on

didactic and paedagogic media and scenarios.

It is an important aim to teach students responsibility towards the functional, cultural, and

ethical dimensions of their product. At the same time, they must respect the objects´ useability as well

as its aesthetic, emotional and intellectual aspects. Students form teams to complete various projects,

they work in depth on a wide variety of subjects, and they are constantly challenged to improve

their presentation skills. Thus, they get the preparation and training necessary to successfully work

in a variety of professions after finishing their studies.Whether they choose to work self-employed

or they strive for a leading position in the coordination of design processes, they must be able to

perform on a high competence level.
