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.

About

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.

Why this study in the Netherlands?

  • You will be studying in an international, project based environment with English as the main language
  • You will be following a study programme that consists of a unique combination of design and engineering: approximately 60% design and 40% engineering
  • The project-based structure allows you to develop a collaborative attitude and the creative design skills needed to function as an Industrial Designer in an international market
  • You will have access to excellent workshop facilities to realise prototypes and test your design concepts

 

What are you going to learn?

Within this study programme, you will learn about the process of designing new products from concept development and prototyping, to production and bringing a product to markets. For this, you need to acquire knowledge and skills in a wide range of topics, such as aesthetics, production methods, materials, and user-centred research. You will analyse existing products and learn to design and build prototypes. You will also learn the commercial aspects involved in bringing a product to market. 

  • You will integrate theory and practice from day one
  • You will develop a professional attitude by working with clients on live projects
  • You will develop skills to visualise and present your concept ideas
  • You will acquire knowledge in materials, engineering and manufacturing process allowing you to define and justify your designs from a technical perspective

What does your week look like?

IDE students combine real projects with self-study in a design studio not a classroom. Every week is different with client meetings and presentations mixed with workshops on design theory and skills development. 4 full days per week are spent in the studio.
