Design projects

Project 1: Methodology in product design

This course introduces user-centred methods such as focused field work and participatory design. Students work in teams to explore a chosen theme, define a design opportunity, and develop a concept, often in collaboration with an external partner. The outcome is a product or system that responds to the needs of a specific user group and context.

Project 4: Degree project

Students begin by framing a design challenge and developing a focused brief. Through collaboration with an external partner, they carry out a self-directed design process and present their work in written, visual, and exhibition formats. The project is a chance to demonstrate readiness to work as a professional designer.
