Introduction
Technology for people | Design. Represent. Describe.
Designing products that are user-friendly and appropriate for the target group, presenting complex issues in an understandable way - that's what we're all about. In our studies, we teach the necessary skills in the design of sustainable technical products. These can be complex machinery, software products or even household appliances. We look at the entire product life cycle and ensure professional technical communication. Our studies - straight after school or as a higher qualification - offer a balanced mix of theory and practice for an interdisciplinary skills profile.
