(ProdUCt deSiGn)
your professional task as a product
designer is to use your knowledge of
aesthetics, function and handling to plan
and design products that are functional
as well as attractive for consumers. A
conceptual and creative product design
should generate market benefits. Taking
into account production processes as
well as technical specifications, a product
designer develops, among other things,
product-specific solutions for industrially
manufactured products, but also for exhibitions
and trade fairs. This encompasses
the full design and service spectrum,
living space and workplaces, interior
design systems and furniture, infrastructure
systems, as well as trade fairs,
public spaces, exhibitions and events.
Product designers also participate in the
design and development of all sorts of
things we need for daily life, including
equipment, instruments and tools.
The most important characteristic of
a product designer’s work is therefore
not only mastering manual processes,
but also the ability to get to the crux of
an assignment and, by finding functional
solutions, to complete it in a practical
and creative manner. The Product
Design Degree Programme offers the
basis for a multi-faceted professional
career working in design agencies or
firms, as an internal designer in an
industrial company, or as a freelance
bACHelorS deGree ProGrAmmeS
product designer. For motivated graduates,
the career outlook is very good.
An integral part of the Product Design
Bachelors Degree Programme is the ho-
listic, design project-based course in the
form of a central, sequential project-axis,
around which are arrayed all the methodological
and technical offerings necessary
for implementation of the basic, theoretical
and key qualification areas.
The time-intensive, personal development
process which is central to the
programme begins on the very first
day when the student is immediately
required to begin meeting the demands
of creative projects.
The Product Design Bachelors
Degree Programme builds the ideal
bridge between the proven elements of
the tenets of design and meeting the
demands of expanding education and
job markets, as well as increasingly
short development cycles.
