Fundamentals Year 3

In year 3 Design, Production and Contextual Studies cooperate in a mutual program.

What will you learn?

You work on a project you have completed in the past years of your DAE education that represents the field of design you would like to explore in the future. This project will form the thread throughout the semester, in which you will learn specific skills on how to position yourself as a designer in the professional field. You get input from external experts for your professionalization: positioning, communication, presenting and the business side of your profession. You will learn to present and translate your research, methods and materialisation for an outside audience.  

Your research trajectory results in a presentation of your materialisation, in which the input on positioning and entrepreneurship from the lessons is translated. You will receive input on the following pillars:

  • Person (Personal Pillar)
  • People (Context Pillar)
  • Present (Connection Pillar)
  • Paperwork (Action Pillar)
