The aim of the field is to educate a new generation of product designers whose studies will enable them to learn about the design of a wide range of products and their industrial production in terms of the use of different materials and working processes.
Product design offers numerous opportunities for creative realisation and application. We educate students in the areas of contemporary and traditional production technologies, using examples of appropriately selected materials. They learn everything from a proper understanding of the function of the designed product to marketing strategy. Graduates are prepared for independent employment or joining a company in the field, and are also better prepared for possible further university studies.
Why studyProduct design?
Graduates are equipped with unique 3D and 2D software knowledge, are proficient in 3D scanning and printing and working with CNC milling machines, and have an overall knowledge of the properties of materials such as metal, wood, glass, ceramics and plastics.
By studying at the school and completing a four-month internship in companies, our graduates gain practical knowledge, professional skills and competences that enable them to find employment in the field immediately after school, either as an employee or as an independent designer.
Graduates securely grasp contemporary design, design history, trend definitions and they understand the characteristics of the world's design centres.
