About the MA Industrial Design

The Master Industrial Design is a two-year full-time master’s program that sets out to educate designers who want to have a broader concept of what industrial design can be and redesign the industry. They develop research- and design- projects in which they question and challenge the conventions in the industrial system and envision more diverse, sustainable and meaningful futures.

We believe in the discursive and transformative potential of design. Through design and research designers can pose questions, search for answers, envision futures, and prototype scenarios. Design research is therefore at the core of the MID program.

Aesthetically distinctive and outspoken products and projects are being developed based on research that defines the position of the designer in the professional field. Design projects in collaboration with scientists, the industry and the design field form the basis of the program.

We encourage both individual and collaborative creativity and understand ourselves to be a research community within which we are exploring what industrial design can be in the current times. The language of the department is English.
