Bachelor study program in design
With its large spectrum of eight competence fields, which complement and are also linked with one another, the artistic-scientific Bachelor program in design forms an interdisciplinary study program that is unique in its diversity and outstanding facilities. The fields of competence are: Advertising Design, Corporate Identity/Corporate Design, Graphic Design, Color Design, Lighting Design, Interior Design/ Interior Architecture, Product Design and Metal Design.
The Bachelor program makes it possible for students to either specialize in one particular field in the traditional way or to combine a number of different fields in a completely new way. The study course plans for the individual fields of competence have been designed to serve as a guideline for the students. This allows students to collaborate on an interdisciplinary basis and to pursue their own individual interests, which can, in turn, lead to completely new combinations of the areas of competence and have an innovative
impact on the course contents.

The clearly drawn profile of the artistic-scientific and consecutive Master study program in design qualifies graduates for positions of leadership in complex, sophisticated fields of design in design teams, in professional freelancing or in their own businesses.

Following the Bachelor study program, which is primarily oriented towards the different areas of competence, the Master program requires students to deal in greater detail with strategic planning, integrative design processes and leadership tasks on an interdisciplinary level. Thus, the study program has its own clearly outlined, professionally qualifying profile for a Master of Arts ( Design) and consistently follows the approach of training responsible designers who are highly competent in their chosen fields, work on interdisciplinary levels and exhibit team spirit, personal accountability and autonomy.
