  • The Design Products programme recognises that design is an activity that fundamentally shapes our world and influences the processes of change. We aim for our students to find their own place, from where they can lead or contribute to these processes.

    Although there is a focus on product and furniture design, we do not see any limitations to our field – understanding very well that most of tomorrow’s products and services do not yet exist today. The nature of the course is pluralistic; we encourage diversity in thinking, opinions and ideologies. There are no preferred methods or styles. Our aim is for our students to develop their own voices.
