Bachelor in Industrial Design

Industrial Design studies the conception and development of manufactured products, balancing function, usability, materials, and aesthetics. Students typically take courses in design studios, product development, materials and manufacturing processes, ergonomics, and design history, developing skills in sketching, prototyping, and computer-aided design. The discipline addresses how products are shaped to meet user needs while remaining feasible to manufacture, covering considerations such as form, material selection, and production methods. Graduates commonly work as product designers, design consultants, or within research and development teams at manufacturing and consumer goods companies. This bachelor program runs 4 years and is delivered in English at Kadir Has University, located in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's manufacturing and consumer goods sector offers students potential exposure to companies and workshops relevant to product design practice. English-medium instruction also connects students to international design publications and software documentation used widely in the field. Across the 4-year curriculum, students typically move from foundational design and drawing skills to more advanced product design studios, working through the stages of concept development, prototyping, and evaluation, often culminating in a graduation project that results in a resolved product design. The program combines creative design training with technical knowledge of materials and manufacturing, preparing graduates for careers that require both innovative thinking and practical production awareness.
