The Faculty of Design offers three Bachelor of Arts study programmes in: Interior Architecture and Furniture Design; Fashion Design and Costume Design; and Visual Communication. There is also one study programme for MA Design.
Design courses are professionally oriented and provide subject-specific competence within interior architecture and furniture design, fashion and costume design, and visual communication. The programmes involve a high level of collaboration between various design courses, both internally and externally. This provides a basis for a broad, interdisciplinary understanding of design. The courses are largely organised on a project basis, covering both abstract and experimental work, plus realistic projects incorporating supplementary subjects.
Both craft manufacture and screen-based technology are used within all specialisations. Students work both on unique products (one-off solutions for special production) and on designs for industrial production.
Students develop clear attitudes to their own aesthetic judgement and personal scope for expression. In order to enable students to establish themselves professionally and gain an understanding of their subject, the Faculty seeks collaboration on real-world projects with external principals from organisations, the business community and public institutions. Theoretical and methodological studies help to reinforce the subject areas and develop students’ experience and professional standing.
