Programme content


Lifestyle Design students should be innovative, visionary and determined.

Students familiarise themselves with methods such as future thinking, design thinking and storytelling, and learn to apply these methods in their research. You will develop essential skills such as conceptual thinking and the ability to formulate and develop a vision, and learn how to apply these skills in the design process.

Collaboration with fellow students, both within and outside your own discipline, as well as international crossovers, are also an essential part of the design process. In order to arrive at a convincing visual representation and communication of your end product or solution, in which styling plays a key role, you will be studying visual techniques such as photography, audio-visual media, web design and graphic design. You will also be familiarising yourself with a variety of (production) methods, from traditional crafts to cutting-edge technologies.

The curriculum addresses a wide range of topics: mobility, the knowledge economy, technologies, food, health, relationships, retail, art and culture, etc. Representatives from the professional market will participate in the projects as clients or partners, sharing with you their extensive knowledge and experience. This professional market is extremely diverse, from commercial businesses to municipal governments, from institutes to platforms, from media to the public domain, from healthcare to education. Last but not least, you will develop a distinctive visual style of your own by assembling a comprehensive portfolio as you progress through the study programme
