PSD > About the programme

The programme educates designers with a distinct design personality. Students will learn to manage design processes, learn about the regulations in construction, material knowledge, skills in 3D composition, and understand the spatiality of people and products. They deepen the skills learned in Bachelor’s studies and broaden their knowledge in spatial, furniture or product design. They learn to practice design in the wider operational environment of product development, business, and culture.

In this programme, students learn to interpret their living environment and culture. They also learn to transform them through their personal vision and professional skills. During their studies, students develop an artistic perspective and insight, learn to master their creative process, and deepen their expertise in materials, design tradition, and culture. The programme trains students in personal design expression, ability to master design processes, and ability to understand the discipline’s tradition and present as a base of curiosity and experimentation.

Studies in three different competence areas: Applied Art and Design, Furniture Design and Spatial Design.
