The students have acquired comprehensive competences in solving designing, analytical and methodological problems. They have extensi-ve knowledge and skills that they apply to varying tasks, and they can solve them independently, systematically and distinctively. They are able to acquire and apply advanced professional knowledge for a spe-cific task. They give impulses for the development of innovative design strategies and the study of trans-disciplinary design processes in the context of the ethical-cultural responsibility of design.

Specific subject-related targetsThe students are familiar with the methods for the strategic develop-ment and implementation of design concepts in the field of integrated design. They are able to reduce complex contexts/matters to their core and to visualize them. They have elaborated intelligent solution prin-ciples to recognize and master future tasks.

The students are able to relate designing to general principles of order, and to understand and assess the adequateness of their application. They have familiarized themselves with the strategies of the reduction of complexity, however they also know the problems related to reduc-tionism. They are able to recognize the systemic aspects of designs and artefacts, and to relate them to technical, biological and social systems.


Study of the relationship between order and disorder in scientific and artistic contexts. The orders of designing and the orders of knowledge. LATCH formula (Locatron, Alphabet, Time, Category, Hierarchy). Struc-turing of information, theory and practice of information design as a cross-over design discipline. The systemic aspects of designing. From the modular principle to the system theory.

The students have studied central aspects of culture techniques of re-levance for design, and are able to incorporate them both in life-world/cultural and scientific-technological connections. They have completed the rather instrumental understanding of symbol systems and their media by aspects of cultural difference and relativity of cultural-techni-cal practices.


Language, script, image, number, maps, diagrams and models, etc.Study of elementary culture techniques as extension of potentials of action and communication and in relation to motor-sensory and cogni-tive abilities. Intercultural comparison of scriptualization, picturization, objectification, embodiments of thinking, model formations, study of their applications and design expressions.
