About the programme
Consumer culture faces fundamental and urgent change, requiring radical transformation to new modes of production and consumption. The ability to meet this paradigm shift is essential for future designers, who will lead change in the increasingly complex social and technical contexts of circular design and behavioural economics.
The venerable Danish furniture and design tradition underpins our approach, informing the core of our hands-on and workshop-based learning. Our students enjoy collaboration with multiple external partners in industrial and educational settings both in Denmark and abroad.
The curriculum provides students with critical skills and knowledge, including design contexts, tectonics, material tactility, design history, design methods, product development, life-cycle assessment, certifications, inclusion and diversity.
In summary, the program offers high-level competencies driven by a focus on the environment, understanding of people and society, care in design and consideration of the entire lifecycle of production, distribution and use.
