Design
Designers are an important driver of the creative industry, one of the most booming sectors in the Netherlands and abroad. Not only will you master the skills you need to become a professional designer, you will also develop a critical attitude. You will not just be reflecting on your own work, style and authenticity, but also that of your fellow students.
If you are creative, curious, interested in experimenting with images and converting ideas to visual concepts, the Bachelor of Design may well be the right programme for you. Making mistakes is part of your development as a professional designer. By experimenting, failing and starting again you will create your own style, your signature.
You will also learn to build and protect your authenticity as a designer. We will provide you with the best facilities and counselling. You will work together with other students, to learn how to function in a (interdisciplinary) team. You learn to play with images and discover how your visual abilities can create solutions for questions in society.
During the main phase you will choose your own path. This can be a direction focused on one of the following majors:
After this study programme, you can work as an independent designer (alone or in a group) or look for a job with, for example, a design agency or theatre company. During the programme, you will get to know the professional possibilities. For instance, we organize a number of Professional Wednesdays during the academic year where you can meet designers (often alumni) to get further acquainted. In practice, designers usually do not work alone: they often have to deal with clients, colleagues and implementers. Therefore, we offer a number of interesting excursions throughout the years that will give you a better insight into the possibilities.
