Jewellery Design
Over the past decades, design has taken on a significant function in all areas of private and public life. This significance will continue to grow since objects are given an identity through design, design allows interrelations to be identified, thereby providing people with a sense of orientation.
Design takes advantage of state-of-the-art communication media as well as planning methods, thereby meeting social and private requirements in increasingly shorter periods of time.
Design is particularly interdisciplinary in nature, it thrives on the exchange of ideas and suggestions between art, science and practical application, from communication between the designers as well as with users and consumers.
There are two fields of study available for students of design at Hochschule Wismar – Product Design and Jewellery Design. The specialist knowledge taught in artistic and design exercises, periods of work experience and project work serves as an introduction to the complex tasks facing the students in their subsequent fields of activity. The interdisciplinary cooperation between the fields of study and courses is deliberate and promotes the flexibility of the students in terms of their deployment.
