Program
Industrial Design combines social robotics and bionics. It is a discipline where product design is supported by ergonomics and new materials are developed with the use of parametric algorithms.
Our students acquire one of the key design competencies - they know how to work in a team of experts, who represent complementary fields of expertise.
Under the guidance of outstanding designers, students learn how to combine technological perfection with humanistic thought and artistic sensibility.
Students implement actual projects in cooperation with our external business partners. Thanks to this approach, they learn how to work in real business environment, with clients who present different requirements, constraints and their own, subjective view of the project.
The experience and networking opportunities gained throughout the course of study, enable a smooth entry into the job market.

Teaching Methodology
Students study the latest technologies, conduct daring experiments with various materials, and gain extensive theoretical background in humanities and social sciences.
Using examples of actual projects, they follow all steps of the design process from planning, through prototyping, to the implementation. They research the context of the product, the actual needs of users and they analyze similar objects that were designed before. They know how to prepare project documentation and how to present their designs to business clients.
Our students learn from the best practitioners in the filed of design and are able to test their knowledge in a real business environment.
