Design

The Bachelor programme offers students the opportunity to explore different approaches to design and design research, using concepts such as thinking through making. It encourages students to develop their own position as a designer and to develop a critical eye for the world around them. A Bachelor’s degree at Design Academy Eindhoven is a four-year programme that offers students the opportunity to develop their own answers to these fundamental questions. Bachelor students at DAE are provided with space, support and guidance to explore their relationship with design, as well as its potential as a tool for positive action in a world that is in constant flux. DAE nurtures independent thinking and encourages students to engage deeply with themselves and with their environment, to be curious and to question their assumptions, and to interrogate systems of power, of knowledge and of production. At DAE, we believe in 'designing the designer'. All BA students follow three main programme lines: Fundamentals, Studios and Reflections. This structure is designed to encompass important development opportunities and gradually offer students more agency and independence within their studies.

Design Academy Eindhoven is one of the most prestigious design schools in the world, consistently ranked in the top 10 globally. Known for its conceptual, context-driven approach to design education, producing graduates who work at major design firms and start their own studios worldwide.
