Inspiring: Researching Design
During your studies, you will acquire an innovative skillset that combines design-specific skills with strategic, entrepreneurial and research skills. You will hone your individual profile by working on a research question of your choice in one of the defined fields of application (biodesign, socio-spatial design, information experience and computational design, cross-platform content and media strategy).
The following areas are available for specialization:
- Systemic Design
- Experience Design
- Strategic Communication
In dialogue with experts from practice and science, you learn to apply design knowledge unerringly and scientifically to develop solutions to complex problems. You will also acquire the key competence of working in interdisciplinary teams in international settings and linking different areas of knowledge.
Learning content in detail
Study and career: yes, it's possible!
Studying part-time is challenging and at the same time very rewarding. The mix of courses in presence, e-learning units, self-organized learning as well as group and project work allows you to combine study and work well. But of course this requires a high level of discipline, consistent time management and a corresponding agreement with your employer. A reduction of the professional activity has proven itself.
These measures enable you to combine your studies, work and private life well:
-
Courses are held in blocks mainly on Thursdays and Fridays (occasionally on Saturdays). There are approximately six additional days of attendance per semester - these take place as two blocks during the week.
-
Optimized schedules with little idle time. Certain weekends are free of classes (Easter, Pentecost, Christmas).
-
Preview of contact hours and exam dates already several months in advance.
-
Presentation and examination times are only changed in exceptional cases (e.g. illness of a lecturer).
-
Team-building events throughout the study
-
Small group sizes create space for individual supervision when working on practice examples, case studies and projects.
-
The availability of electronic media (scripts, eBooks, essays in specialized databases) is very high and is constantly being expanded.
-
Infrastructure opening hours also outside contact hours.
