Industrial Design Engineering
Ever wondered how IKEA managed to become the largest and most popular furniture retailer in the world? Well, it might have had something to do with the fact they let groups of users share their experience of the products and create sustainable furniture to suit their needs.
Co-creation has become a reality for every professional designer. And it’s second nature to our IDE students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS). Anyone can come up with a ground-breaking idea. But IDE teaches you to funnel your creativity by collaborating with all stakeholders, taking ethics and other cultures into account and making a positive impact with the launch of your project.
You could design a solution for cleaning plastic waste from the city canals based on nature’s principles (biomimicry). You could design and engineer a sun visor or windshield wiper for the car of the future. Or you could create a lighting solution that is sustainable and helps students and young professionals keep a healthy daily rhythm.
The first semester at IDE provides you with the Basics of IDE: the methods, knowledge and skills that you apply immediately in your first design project for an external client. The next three semesters you can choose from the different semesters on offer. All IDE semesters are integrated projects for real clients supported by training in skills and methods. Your fifth semester is for the minor space; you can choose a minor at THUAS or elsewhere, do an internship or go on exchange. In the final semester you’ll put your skills to the test in in individual innovation project for a client.

But as a young professional, you do much more. You’ll discover the culture at your company and what the profession does on a daily basis. You’ll attend meetings and company parties.

If you’re academically inclined, you may want to follow a masters after graduating from IDE. There are no masters at THUAS that complement IDE. However, in the Netherlands, there are three universities of technology that offer interesting and fitting masters. You should note that some universities in the Netherlands require you to follow a pre-masters course after graduating from THUAS. Sometimes you can get in right away with your portfolio. You can take a masters in design after graduation just about anywhere else in the world where a bachelor of science is accepted.
