General Information on Undergraduate Program
The program aims to provide students with in-depth theoretical and technical knowledge and high levels of practical skills in the field of industrial design. The program offers a number courses that are concerned with the knowledge of structure, materials and production techniques as well as of ergonomics, management, history and marketing. The students are also introduced to the traditional and computer-aided techniques of drawing and modelling. These courses aim to support the core element of the program, which is the design studio courses. The final year students usually work on projects in collaboration with industry. The program aims to develop the ability to cope with diverse problem areas in industrial design without restricting students to particular fields of specialisation.Undergraduate Curriculum
