The structure of the programme

During the five year programme, students experience three design education systems and join a strong international community. The location diversity provides insight into design approaches, multi-national perspectives and creates sensitivity towards cultural differences.

  • In the first and second year, the students study at their home universities
  • The third year is spent at one of the international partner universities
  • At the end of third year, the students submit their BA theses to their home university.
  • The fourth year is spent at a second partner university
  • For the fifth - final year - the students return to their home universities to complete their Master theses.

    • During the two years abroad the students follow the curricular content offered by the programme of the respective partner university. This results in each student acquiring a unique skill set and combination of projects. The studies abroad take place in English or in the respective national language.
