Design
NABA’s bachelor’s programme in Design is built on the principle of “learning by doing” and combines theoretical studies with practical workshops. For anyone wanting to study design, this is an opportunity to dive into a creative and inspiring learning environment.
During the programme, students first gain a solid foundation in techniques and methods, before delving into the many different forms of expression that design can take. The programme is designed to awaken a sensitivity and passion for objects that not only reflect, but also shape, human life. Students also explore how surfaces, spaces, and objects interact to create functional and aesthetic wholes.
