The Master’s programme in Interaction Design deals with the relation between people and IT.
The Master's programme in Transportation Design challenges students to innovate all matter of mobility.
The Master's programme in Advanced Product Design explores design through the lens of societal challenges.
As earthquakes, storms, and wildfires place growing pressure on communities, the need for resilient mobility systems is becoming increasingly urgent.
Through research-led design proposals, students examined how people, resources, and aid could move more effectively before, during, and after a crisis.
