Bachelor's program in Design | Bachelor's degree | Art & Design | On Campus | 3+2 years | Aalto University | Finland

The Bachelor’s program in Design focuses on the expanding nature of design and the work of designers in an increasingly global, networked and service-driven society. During the three years of study, students learn to design with both physical and digital media as well as acquire the skills and knowledge they need to position their work in the broader context of contemporary society and industry. They also learn to engage with commercial and societal challenges and developments in the private, public and cultural sector through the design of products, services and systems. The program prepares students for further studies in design and media as well as gives them a foundation for pursuing a professional career as a designer. In preparing students for life after graduation, the program assists them in carving out an identity and locating a professional niche for themselves as a designer, either working with clients independently as a design consultant or as a member of a team within a larger organization. Additionally, as future-oriented designers, they are trained to be entrepreneurial and self-directed in their endeavours and to explore opportunities in new and emergent areas of design in academia, industry and the public sector.
