By challenging the current practice of fashion, the objective lies in the development of alternative and sustainable design concepts that produce a high degree of independence and a self-confident establishment in the market.

Candidates have a university or college degree in scenography, interior design, exhibition design or a related subject area.

Studio Industrial Design
The Master’s degree emphasis program Studio Industrial Design is geared to promote a discerning, individual and research-oriented training in order to succeed in the competitive professional design sector.
