The Design & Product Management programme focuses on design, marketing and technology. Industry-specific knowledge in furniture, industrial or interior design is acquired as the programme progresses. Complementary course content teaches scientific, interdisciplinary, social and practical skills.
After acquiring basic skills in design, product-related materials technology, furniture and interior design, and creative project work in the first year of the bachelor's programme, students begin to learn industry-specific knowledge in furniture design, industrial design, or interior design in the third semester. The methods and working techniques, such as design thinking, are the same across all specialisation groups, but the standards and preferred CAD programmes differ. The choice of specialisation is not considered decisive for future careers; the most important thing is to acquire a good foundation in one discipline in order to be able to apply this knowledge to other industries in the future.
Here are some examples of projects in the three specialisations:
- Furniture Design
- Interior Design
- Industrial Design
