Sustainable Design Business educates contemporary designers for a sustainable future

In the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Sustainable Design Business (SDB), you will become a creative professional who combines design thinking with an understanding of business contexts to drive sustainable change. You will learn to approach challenges with human-centered and responsible methods and tools. This means taking on the role of a contemporary designer, moving beyond traditional formgiving.

The programme combines theory and practice and equips you with design, prototyping and futures-oriented skills, together with an understanding of sustainable business models such as the circular economy. It enables you to pursue a career in sustainable organisations and also offers a pathway to master’s level studies.

World of possibilities

A lot of emphasis is based on learning together. The interaction between students, and between students and teachers, is at the core of the pedagogical approach. Students take on different roles within various teamwork assignments during their studies. This way the students gain experience-based knowledge and can find and develop their personal interests within the design profession.

Sustainable design business offers a world of possibilities. Graduates work as designers of products, product related services and user interfaces, and in specialist roles in various types of businesses and organisations and the manufacturing industry. They can be also employed at design and engineering companies.
