​​
At the Industrial Design Center, we offer 2 programs in Design both in Dutch or in English:
In INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT DESIGN, the emphasis is on consumer goods, everyday objects, medical devices, household and kitchen appliances, or office products. These are designed for practical use in everyday life and therefore must be technically developed and prepared for production
The INTERIOR PRODUCT DESIGN elective track focuses on learning how spaces, furniture, and objects reinforce each other into functional, aesthetic, and meaningful overall concepts. It emphasizes designing useful, feasible, and sustainable solutions, with attention to materials, techniques, ergonomics, and user needs. Here, the focus is less on industrial products and more on styled interior objects and thoughtfully designed environments.
