Industrial Design
Industrial designers create products, processes and systems - always with a view to function, sustainability and social relevance. In a time of profound changes due to digitalization, climate change, mobility change and social transformation, industrial design is much more than just a beautiful form: It is a key competence for solving complex future issues. We train for industry, because this is the only place where we can really bring about socially relevant change. Whether resource-saving products, inclusive technologies or circular production systems - our students learn how design creates real impact.

The Industrial Design course at Design PF is characterized by a wide-ranging education in both digital and analogue design. To this end, our students work in our excellently equipped workshops, from the CAD lab to the bench room for handcrafted woodwork. These workshops are freely accessible to all Industrial Design students.
Growing complexity and networking of technologies, internationalization and high competitive pressure to develop ever more differentiated and expressive design solutions - all these factors increase the demand for capable product designers. Product design today includes the consideration of corporate values, brand attributes, function, innovation, technology and sustainability in the design process, which is why graduates often work in highly specialized design offices or in the design or development departments of industrial companies. After some time, many become self-employed with their own design office.
