    Integrated Design (Bachelor of Arts)

    About

    The Bachelor's degree programme “Integrated Design“ can be described as different, vibrant and inspiring. It features a nationwide, unique, non-linear and multi-semester study model that offers a high level of individual design opportunities. The Bachelor's degree programme “Integrated Design“ integrates different design and scientific approaches from several design areas and design-related disciplines. Students gain extensive methodology skills from at least ten areas of expertise as well as other design, analytical and conceptual specialist knowledge in a flexible study structure of seven semesters. Thus, they systematically begin to understand and use the diversity of design. These qualifications are complemented by intercultural experience and language competence. This degree programme enables students to work towards solutions to current issues in design and to carry out project work in a flexible and independent manner within various social, cultural, and international contexts. Study Courses The Bachelor's degree programme "Integrated Design" offers two courses of study to students at the end of their first year of study at KISD. Course of Study “Integrated Studies in Design“ In the course of study “Integrated Studies in Design“, students work in multi-semester projects and seminars on complex design processes and acquire a broad knowledge of contents, working practices, and methodologies of design while developing extensive analytical, conceptual, and design specific competence, which they link with cross-cultural and international experience. Self-initiated teaching and research projects allow students to develop their own interests and to set individual focal points. Supported by a mentoring programme, they learn to redefine and discuss their development as designers again and again. Course of Study “European Studies in Design“ In the course of study "European Studies in Design", students spend the first four semesters of their studies at KISD. Afterwards, they study at two of the European MEDes partner universities. The MEDes network encompasses seven European universities featuring an innovative and international design education. Besides KISD, these include the following: Aalto School of Art & Design (Helsinki, Finland), Glasgow School of Art (Glasgow, UK), ENSCI Les Ateliers (Paris, France), Konstfack (Stockholm, Sweden), Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) and the University of Aveiro (Aveiro, Portugal).
