Praxisbezug im Fernstudium Produktdesign

Übung macht den Meister. Genau deshalb legst Du schon im Studium ordentlich Hand an. In Deinen Entwurfsprojekten nutzt Du Dein Wissen, um Deine praktischen Fähigkeiten weiterzuentwickeln. Die theoretischen Inhalte, die Du während des Semesters gelernt hast, erprobst Du in den Creative Labs, die an jedes Semester anschließen. Du erweiterst Dein Portfolio dabei mit jedem Projekt. Produktdesign Kurse wie z.B. „Entwurfstechniken“, „CAD und Generatives Design“ und „Prototyping und Modellbau“ zeichnen sich zudem durch einen starken Praxisbezug aus. Neben Deinem Produktdesign Bachelor hast Du nach Deinem Studium daher auch ein umfassendes Portfolio in der Tasche.
