Bachelor in Industrial Design

Industrial Design is concerned with the design of manufactured products, focusing on how form, function, materials, and user needs come together in objects ranging from consumer electronics to furniture and vehicles. Undergraduate coursework typically covers design studio projects, product development, materials and manufacturing processes, ergonomics, and computer-aided design and prototyping, alongside coursework in visual communication and design history. Studio-based project work is central to the discipline, with students developing design concepts, building prototypes, and presenting their work for critique throughout the program. As students progress, coursework often extends into areas such as user experience design, sustainable design, or specific product categories, depending on departmental focus and student interest. Graduates typically work as product designers, industrial designers, or design consultants for manufacturing companies, design studios, and consumer goods firms, contributing to the development of products used in everyday life. The discipline combines creative and technical skills, since designers must consider aesthetics and usability alongside manufacturing constraints and material properties.
