Future possibilities
In shaping our futures, designers will face unprecedented challenges compared to what conventional designers faced during the twentieth century. In fact, the role of the designer will and should change. Our programs focus on making sustainable change through design to prepare you for a number of emerging and established careers in the world where you can use your creative skills in relation to your understanding of the complexity of sustainability.
Recent graduates from our programs work in design companies, artistic and cultural organisations, human rights organisations, NGOs, political parties, publications and with initiatives run by local communities or municipalities. Students have also gone on to start their own companies and many are currently attending graduate studies at prestigious Swedish universities.
