Design Academy Eindhoven is a unique school, both in its approach to education and in its organisational structure and internal culture.

The Academy’s community is its heart. From heads to tutors, coordinators to workshop managers, caretakers to catering team, students and staff, each individual plays an important part in shaping DAE.

With this in mind, the Academy aims to create a progressive environment for all of its employees, offering opportunities for both personal and professional development within a stimulating and safe working environment. The school’s personnel policy also places a strong emphasis on identifying and supporting talent and creating a healthy and engaging social atmosphere.

Due to the overwhelming number of applicants, DAE no longer accepts open applications and will only respond to applications for jobs advertised on the DAE website.

TEACHING TEAM AT DAE

DAE’s teaching team is a fundamental part of its identity. Since the 1980s, the school has worked with designers and industry experts who teach at DAE for one or two days per week, alongside running their own practice or business.

A teaching team of non-academic professionals reinforces the school’s vital relationship between industry and education. All of the current Bachelor studios and Master labs are led by well-known designers, researchers and curators, who reflect the wide range of possibilities of a career in or around design. They serve as role models for DAE’s students and determine the design vision of their own studio or lab, within the school’s educational framework. They create their own teaching teams, with designers, architects, industry experts, philosophers, etc. from their own professional network
