About this program
The study programme in Design is provided by five departments, each representing a distinct design field:
Graphic Design, Interactive Media Design, Interior Architecture & Furniture Design, Textile & Fashion and Photography (full- & part-time).
* Graphic Design: Its world-wide reputation is fuelled by the high level and thorough education, the investigative and conceptual approach in teaching, as well as the excellent quality in the field of typeface design and typography.
* Interactive/Media/Design trains students who want to impact society by designing meaningful interactivity between people, machines, systems, processes, societies and cultures - where "human" is always the most important factor.
* Interior Architecture and Furniture Design covers the full width of the spatial domain by focusing on spatial conditions that determine how we experience our daily living environment.
* Textile & Fashion has a very distinctive profile. The combination of two disciplines within one department is unique in the Netherlands and inspires the curriculum of the program.
* Photography (full- & part-time): Education is directed within an environment that not only encourages the development of quality photographic images but also intensively promotes research into the effects of video and photographic imagery.
