"Design is everywhere. Whether it's the app on your smartphone, remotely monitoring the progress of your physical therapy, controlling a self-driving car, involving citizens in policy in their neighbourhood, or your new, sustainable sneakers; somebody thought about the design. As an industrial designer, you translate knowledge and technological innovations into meaningful applications that improve society, or make life a bit better, more pleasant, or easier.\n\nThe designer is the spider in the web when translating new technology into applications for the market. During your studies, you will learn how to integrate innovations, data, creativity, technology, user needs, aesthetics, social impact and business interest into the design of a product or service. But most of all, you develop the right skills and mindset to tackle a design challenge, whether it concerns a service, product, or system. After graduation, you will receive your degree Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design.\n\nYou will learn to design interactive systems, products and services that make our lives better, more social or simply more comfortable. Examples of projects that you could be working on are smart home systems, intelligent clothing, sustainable materials, AI, health, and motivating games. You will do this not only by taking courses, but also by lots of hands-on education: learning by doing.\n\nThe bachelor's program of Industrial Design is a creative and versatile degree program. It is a mix of creativity and technology, of thinking and doing. The disciplines, or 'areas of expertise', that you will study are:\n\nBusiness and Entrepreneurship (learning how to bring your product to the market)\n\nCreativity and Aesthetics (for a functional and well-designed product or service)\n\nMath, Data and Computing (for obtaining and interpreting the right data for research)\n\nTechnology and Realization (bringing your design to live using technology)"
