Industrial Design Engineering

Will you design the consumer products of the future? Products that don’t just look good, but are also geared to the needs of end users, the production process, packaging requirements and recyclability? In the Bachelor’s in Industrial Design Engineering you learn to design or improve products with technical insight, creativity and a keen sense of consumer behaviour.

WHY INDUSTRIAL DESIGN ENGINEERING?

This engineering bachelor’s prepares you for all aspects related to designing a good product. You get a firm grip on the entire design process, from developing ideas to market introduction. This enables you to become a spider in the web at a variety of companies, such as manufacturers of consumer products, design agencies, consultancy companies or (semi) government bodies.

YOUR DESIGN IN STORES?

As well as gaining academic knowledge, you work on realistic challenges, often taken directly from industry. Together with your team, you develop a prototype of a product that you present to your client, like IKEA and Arend. Many products made by UT students have actually ended up in stores in this way.

AFTER YOUR BACHELOR’S

After getting your Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering, you can further specialise by pursuing a master’s degree. Most people who graduate from the Bachelor’s in IDE enter our two-year, English-taught Master’s in Industrial Design Engineering. This Master’s is a perfect follow-up to the Bachelor’s.

Some bachelor’s graduates join the job market straight away or start their own business. You can enter the job market as an entrepreneurial designer - someone who, literally and figuratively, can shape the future. You feel at home in all facets of the product development process. You are able to anticipate the future and look beyond professional boundaries in all sorts of different positions: from consultant to researcher, and from process monitor to product designer or developer.
