Design for sustainability. Communicate professionally.

Designing products, developing ideas, and working creatively while integrating design with technology, sustainability, and a broader systems perspective? That is exactly what this degree program is about. We develop user-centered products and systems that are both functional and sustainable. To achieve this, we combine design with technical expertise, systems thinking, and professional communication.

We create concepts, apply design methods, visualize ideas, and turn them into models and prototypes. Along the way, we build technical competencies and explore how people perceive, use, and experience products and systems. This approach results in solutions that are not only aesthetically compelling but also functional, intuitive, and easy to understand for their users.

* Subject to approval by AQ Austria or FH Upper Austria Academic Board
