Presentation

Studying Design at BAU means learning to create messages, objects, relationships, or situations to build a more conscious and responsible society. It involves developing creative and innovative design methods that contribute to the well-being of people, the community, and the environment.

BAU's Bachelor's Degree in Design encompasses experimentation, research, trial and error, documentation of processes, historical knowledge, and critical thinking. It involves collaborating with other social agents, sharing ideas, and exploring new spaces, materials, and aesthetics. BAU Design students ask questions, identify challenges and opportunities, lead projects, and are prepared to bring solutions and new perspectives to local and global issues.

BAU Design graduates are creative professionals capable of hybridising languages, imaginaries, and methods from different fields of design. They expand the fields of audiovisual, spatial, graphic, and fashion design and broaden connections with other sectors to respond to the needs of the present and propose more sustainable ways of living together.
