The course is aimed at interested and critical designers, architects, interior designers, and other professionals with an affinity for design who want to further develop their conceptual skills and their interdisciplinary communication and who want to help shape our world as creatives.

The basic module “Design Culture” deals with topics and specific features of different design disciplines and questions them in a critical, culture-scientific context. Students apply theories and discourses to explicit examples from contemporary culture and inspect them from the perspective of their own design work. “Design Process” examines alternative modes of approach, deviating design concepts and the concept of design as an ongoing process. “Design Research” teaches the basics of design research and introduces students to research-oriented project development; thereby they apply the methods of design research, sound the function of experiments in design processes, and familiarize themselves with the latest approaches in critical research.

Graduates are qualified to work as designers in cultural or business settings and assume responsible positions in full-service design agencies; they can set up their own business, either alone or in a team, or they can choose to pursue a career in teaching and research. Students with an MA degree command cross-disciplinary skills that qualify them for professional work as a designer in a design agency, for a career in teaching and research, for free-lance work, either alone or in a team, or to set up a business of their own.

With its studios and central Campus.Workshops, HGK offers ideal conditions for combining craft curiosity, the acquisition of technical skills, and the necessary digital know-how. In addition, all students have their own 24/7 workspace in one of the spacious studios. In addition, the programme Interior Design & Scenography features an analogue and a digital workshop. The facilities are open to students 365 days a year.
