Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

The design industry is a fast-growing and exciting field of work. With society changing at an ever increasing pace, there are always new needs being placed on products and new technologies providing more and more opportunities to design them.

Product designers conceptualize and design products and objects such as:

  • Consumer goods,
  • furniture and lighting,
  • special unique pieces,
  • ceramic products,
  • glass products,
  • porcelain products

In addition, they are active in the fields of exhibition design and public design.

In planning and designing products, objects and spaces, students learn to meet the requirements of design in functional, aesthetic, technical, ecological and cultural terms.
In addition to traditional design and drafting subjects, students take craft, digital and also scientific-theoretical modules through which their analytical and conceptual skills are fostered.
The combination of product design, the field of serially manufactured products, and object design, the field of unique pieces, offers a broad opportunity for career entry and a maximum of development possibilities in the studies.
Our graduates are employed in firms or design offices, freelance, or study in a Master's degree programme for further specialization and career development.
