During their studies at the Department of Product Design students study universal principles of designing through projects and tasks of different character, with a focus on the designing process. Through actual projects the program strives to establish cooperation with industry and crafts, thus preparing students for independent professional practice. Studies of Product Design offers students a broad insight into the field of fine arts and culture of design encouraging creativity, analytic and synthetic ability and developing critical discourse. The program encourages individuality, searching for and developing one’s own expression in a range from industrial product, having in mind the context in which the product is made and in which it will be used, to the one-of-a-kind product, which is the expression of one’s own artistic vision. Compulsory courses at the Department are following: fundamentals of design, industrial design, one-of-a-kind design, spatial theory with descriptive geometry, spatial theory, drawing, technology, technological systems, fundamentals of photography, modelling, ergonomics, information science, history of art, development of design, marketing, sociology of design, aesthetics and industrial aesthetics. Through research, studies at the Department of Product Design stimulate students’ creative effort ‘from analysis to synthesis’, using technical-technological development in the market and socio-cultural context, aimed at enabling students for work on different projects in the field of product design.
