Product Design

Why choose Product Design in Arnhem?

Suits you

Depending on your dreams and talents, you'll get to focus on the products you want to design: wearables (around the body), liveables (for the space around you) and useables (based on materials innovation and production process).

Getting to know the professional field

Whilst on the course, you will come into contact with the national/international professional field by learning to design for it and because your lecturers and guest lecturers are active in it.

Good supervision

We want you to feel at home here as an international student. Which is why you will receive extra guidance from a study career coach.

Facilities

You will have the opportunity to work in superbly equipped workshops and studios for woodwork, metalwork, vacuum plastic, prototypes, scanning, milling and more.

Staying stimulated

You'll work on innovative assignments that you can pour all your creativity into and get the chance to do unique internships.

International opportunities

You will become a professional in the vanguard of the international design world.

Our practice- and process-oriented design course delivers professionals at the forefront of the international design world."

Groundbreaking product design for the future

Building on a 50-year tradition that helped shape Dutch Design, we emphasize hands-on learning, material experimentation, and provide you the freedom to explore your own creative paths, allowing you to fully develop your unique potential. We encourage questioning design norms, pushing beyond conventional thinking, and embracing bold innovations that meet both local and global needs.

Through practical, hands-on projects, you acquire the skills to design products, systems, and scenarios that balance technical, ecological, and social constraints with imagination, resourcefulness, and responsibility. We view design as a catalyst for participation and agency, engaging people through design rather than encouraging passive consumption.

You'll graduate ready to lead in industry, launch your own ventures, or pursue further study.
