Industrial Design Engineering

Become a product innovator with The Hague University of Applied Sciences’ BSc in Industrial Design Engineering. This three-year, full-time program equips you with the technical expertise and design thinking skills to create user-centered and innovative products for the future.

Embrace a Human-Centered Approach: Learn to design products that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also consider user needs, ergonomics, and sustainability throughout the development process.

Master Design and Engineering: Gain a strong foundation in both design and engineering principles. Develop expertise in areas like user research, sketching, prototyping, mechanical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing processes.

Project-Based Learning: Develop your design and engineering skills through real-world design projects. Work on collaborative projects with industry partners, tackling design challenges and bringing innovative product ideas to life.

Technology Integration: Learn to leverage cutting-edge design and engineering technologies, including 3D modeling software, rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, laser cutting), and design simulation tools.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Collaborate with students from various disciplines like engineering, business, and marketing, fostering a holistic understanding of the product development process.

Professional Preparation: Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to launch your career in the dynamic field of industrial design engineering. Learn about portfolio development, intellectual property rights, and potential career paths within design consultancies, product development departments, or even starting your own design business.

Develop Valuable Skills: Hone your creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills. Learn to manage projects effectively, adapt your design solutions based on user feedback, and effectively communicate complex technical concepts.

Graduates emerge as versatile industrial design engineers prepared for diverse careers in various fields, including:

• Product design (consumer electronics, medical devices, furniture)
• User experience (UX) design for physical products
• Design research and innovation
• Product development engineering
• Design consultancy firms
• Product development departments within companies
