The programme begins with fundamental design principles and practical skills in relevant design tools. It covers topics such as design thinking, atomic design and universal design. You will gain knowledge of different typographies, shapes and production methods for design components. The semester concludes with a project, either working in teams for real companies or in interdisciplinary collaborative projects.
In the second semester, you will learn to build and maintain design templates, prototype, perform data visualisation and develop skills in creating dashboards and graphs. Emphasis is placed on professional development, career strategies and portfolio building. The year concludes with a project exam where you demonstrate your skills on a real project for a company.
