You’ll work on sharp, innovative projects that challenge your creativity and you get to showcase your work in real exhibitions, both national and international. The curriculum is built around hands-on learning, giving you access to well-equipped workshops where you can explore materials, master the craft of design, and develop technical expertise. This unique combination of theory and practice, as well as a continuous focus on sustainable development, ensures you graduate with both the vision and the skills to make an impact on the design industry.

Bachelor's programme

The bachelor’s programme (kandidatprogrammet*) in industrial design is your place to develop individual skills and a personal approach to your future design profession. 

The art of visualising and communicating ideas through sketching, prototype development and modelmaking is introduced in skill-based courses and applied in design projects throughout the programme. Through experience, you will learn to embrace the uncertainty of the design process, challenge it and reinterpret it. 

The bachelor's programme in industrial design has an international focus and provides you with the knowledge and tools required to work on interdisciplinary assignments, both in teams and independently.

*Although many courses are taught in English, the official language of the bachelor's programme (Kandidatprogrammet) is Swedish. Knowledge of Swedish is therefore required for admission to the programme.

Master's programme

Our international master’s programme offers you a platform to further develop your individual skill set and philosophy to be able to shape your future role within the design profession. In depth studies within artistic, sociological and technological contexts and theories aim to broaden creative and intellectual perspectives. Building on previously acquired knowledge, you will plan, visualise, and implement concepts and strategies for new products and services.  

By organising exhibitions, taking part in seminars and workshops, as well as going on study trips, you get to communicate your work, participate in the public debate and contribute to advancing the field of design at large.
