Descriptions
The curriculum of the Degree Programme in Design is knowledge-based and divided into joint studies of the university of applied sciences and the degree programme, and professional studies. The professional studies include courses in e.g. 3D animation and visualisation, digital design, interior architecture, industrial design, textile design, motion graphics and visual communication design. The professional orientation is selected at the application stage. The professional studies also entail collaboration projects with business and industry. In addition, the studies include work placements, elective studies and finally the Bachelor’s thesis.
The curriculum has been developed in cooperation with partners in business and industry and the students to meet the future requirements in the field of design and to incorporate comprehensive design thinking and its use in multidisciplinary collaboration. The curriculum is based on the following aspects: mastering sustainable design, user-centred design, production and technology, the design process, visual arts as well as developing skills in service design and building one's professional identity.
Development
The development of the curriculum involved the entire design staff with their areas of expertise, representatives of working life, alumni and students. The curriculum was designed to be knowledge-based, relevant to working life and to support a common design approach in the degree programme. Feedback on the new curriculum was sought from the Professional Advisory Board.
