Design Academy Eindhoven specialises in design. It offers a four-year Bachelor’s course and a two-year Master’s course. It has an impressive, international team of tutors at its disposal and the quality of the designers they educate is very high. The DNA of Design Academy Eindhoven can be described as conceptual, authentic, creative, flexible, free, passionate and curious. DNA – The first thing that typifies Design Academy Eindhoven is the autonomous set-up of the teaching. The design departments, compass departments in the bachelor’s course, and the programmes within the master’s course are all headed by people who are leading figures in their professions. Owing to their extensive networks, their enthusiasm, and their ability to help students in directing the content of their designs, the actual current profession is a day to day inspiration to our students. Secondly, the academy is firmly rooted in the professional field. Each tutor works as a professional designer for most of his/her time or is otherwise active in the current professional practice. This allows the Academy to respond rapidly and adequately to signals from the professional field and society. The third theme is the Academy’s sensitive antenna for social phenomena as a motor for innovative design. Design is in the service of man and society and social developments are the most important mainsprings for innovative design. (Source: the university’s website)
