Industrial Design Engineering
Are you curious, creative, accurate, and do you have a drive to create? Are you interested in design, technology, and people? Do you want a career that brings these factors together and allows you to work on solving problems by designing new or re-imagining existing products? Then this study might be for you.
Coffee machines, phones, medical devices: they all need to be ‘designed’. When designing these products, many questions need to be asked and answered. What does the customer need? How does the customer expect the product to look? How can the product be manufactured? What materials should be used? How can it be tested? How should it be marketed?
The study programme BSc Industrial Design Engineering helps you to answer these questions. This unique study programme responds to the growing demand from the design and manufacturing industries for ID engineers who have skills and knowledge but can also apply these in professional situations.
