While studying

Design tomorrow at one of Europe's leading design schools. Here, you will learn to take ideas from vision to reality through a creative, people-centred design process. The programme emphasises sustainable, norm-critical design practices that address social and ecological challenges, encouraging students to explore new ways of life and imagine better futures.

Throughout the programme, you will work on real-world projects with companies, organisations and authorities, tackling challenges from digital solutions to medical aids and industrial equipment. Through sketching, prototyping and hands-on work in our workshops and digital labs, you will bring your ideas to life.

The programme encourages exploration, experimentation, and play, allowing you to forge your own path as a designer. Collaboration is key, with small classes fostering close connections and a creative, culturally diverse environment. Guided by professional industrial designers, you will develop research-based, critical thinking, fostering a mindset that challenges systems and norms. Additionally, students engage with interaction design and service design, broadening their skill set. At UID, the student-teacher relationship is supportive and non-hierarchical, with teachers acting as mentors.

Between major project work, you will take in-depth courses in several design techniques:

• Sketching and visualisation techniques
• Form and colour studies
• Model and workshop techniques
• Communication strategies
• Digital 3D modelling (CAID)

Career opportunities

The programme's close ties with companies - including a ten-week internship - make students attractive in the job market. Graduates go on to work as industrial designers in diverse fields - from consumer products to healthcare, mobility, and digital experiences. Many join leading design consultancies or international companies, while others pursue entrepreneurial paths or continue to advanced studies.
