Our Degree Programme in Industrial Design offers high-quality teaching and acts as an international pioneer in Arctic design.
The studies intertwine seamlessly with networking in the business world and working as a part of an international research community. By graduation students will have acquired strong expertise in the theory and practice of industrial design, wide-ranging skills and the ability to apply their skills in the research and business world.
We conduct cutting-edge research on design and take part in significant national and international research and art forums. The main focus of our research is in product design, and our research approaches emphasise the special characteristics of Arctic design.
We have put together an English-taught study module in Industrial Design for our exchange students. Check the Admissions pages for further information.
