Bachelor in Industrial Design

Industrial Design focuses on the creation of functional, manufacturable products that balance aesthetics, usability, and technical constraints. Coursework typically covers product design, ergonomics, materials and manufacturing processes, design sketching, computer-aided design, and design research methods, alongside studio-based project work. Students learn to move from concept sketches through prototyping to detailed product specifications, considering how form, function, and user needs interact in physical products. Studio critiques and portfolio development are central to the curriculum, helping students refine both technical execution and design reasoning. Graduates pursue careers as product designers, industrial designers, design researchers, and design consultants across consumer electronics, furniture, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Others move into design management or start independent design practices. This 4-year bachelor program is taught in English at Istanbul Bilgi University, located in Istanbul, Turkey. As a private university, the program is offered within a faculty of design, combining creative studio training with technical knowledge of materials and production processes.
