About this program
The Bachelor and Master programs in Design at HfG Offenbach offer comprehensive training in design, covering societal, technological, and economic aspects. The curriculum emphasizes designing for reasonable use, including user experience, interaction design, and needs research. It also delves into production processes (materials, construction, ecology), marketing (branding, market analysis, target groups, visual identity), and consumption (recycling, social use). The programs aim to equip students with a holistic design approach, creative and intellectual flexibility, and a combination of design, technical, methodological, and theoretical skills. A key objective is to enable students to orient and position themselves in the ever-changing design field, with a focus on teamwork and networking. Students can develop individual specializations based on their strengths. The curriculum centers on design projects, including design and experimental creative work, supplemented by lectures, seminars, workshops, and software courses. The Bachelor's program provides foundational knowledge and skills, focusing on the communicative interactions between humans and objects/products, and non-applied exploration of drawing and three-dimensional design fundamentals. It includes foundational practice, prototyping, and theoretical/technological subjects like design theory, history, and ergonomics. The advanced Bachelor's and Master's programs deepen these foundations, allowing for individual profiling within a broad thematic spectrum and interdisciplinary projects, often in collaboration with national and international partners, research institutions, and industry.
