Who is the programme aimed at?
The Master of Design is offered to students who want to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to practice design professionally. During the 4 semester training, our students are introduced to the different methods of design thinking as well as to a variety of related disciplines. We offer both practical and theoretical knowledge that enable them to became a fully autonomous and responsible designer. Our students participate in complex design processes, meet different elements, methods and tools of creation, learn to cooperate in team and individually, understand the processes of decision making as well as critical thinking and environmentally sensitive attitude. The social and ethical aspects, marketing and user experiences are integrated into the practical training. We believe that multidisciplinary approach, critical thinking and empathy are necessary for a designer to react in an innovative way to the upcoming problems of the 21th century.
Structure of studies
The total number of credits needed to complete the programme is 120 credits. The courses of the programme are divided into the following categories: compulsory courses (Design Studios and Design Theory), elective courses in professional knowledge (Visualisation, Product Design Construction and Engineering, Environmental Design, Creative Skills Development, Arts and Culture, Structural Design) and elective courses in additional disciplines (Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Economics and Law). With the chosen specialisation students receive a basic subject package and are free to structure their own curricula according to their interests. 1 credit equals one ECTS credit, and 1 credit is defined as 25 student working hours.
