About

About Industrial Design

Good industrial design is a necessity in order to create useful and ecologically justifiable products that can compete in a market flooded with goods and services. A Master's Degree in Industrial Design will enable you to develop strategically important products for the Norwegian and global industry.


Admission

Admission

Applicants for the master program must have completed a bachelor´s degree or equivalent education of a minimum of three years duration, which includes 90 credits in design subjects. Of  these 90 credits 50% should relate to either product or interaction design. Applicants who have completed other design related programmes may be evaluated on an individual basis.


Career

Career Prospects

Work opportunities range from project work in the public sector to interaction design and usability experts.


Study environment

Study Environment

Contrary to many other programmes of study at the university, Industrial Design is a bit more like comprehensive school. You will be in a class of 22 students, you will have your own work desk and class room, and you spend most of your time in a building where much of the work is carried out.


Programme structure

Programme Components

The degree programme has a common frame of design strategy and product development methodology. On the master level, students have much freedom to specialize in areas such as human factors in design, sustainable design, applied aesthetics, healthcare and welfare design and strategic design.
