hela Sverige Welcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge, ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In Småland and in the world.
The Department of Design is located in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, which is one of Linnaeus University's five faculties. The faculty offers a dynamic, flexible and international learning environment with both scientific and artistic activities in a wide range of fields. We build complete academic environments in which the interplay between education, research and collaboration acts as a catalyst for quality improvements at the university and in society at large.
Design is a powerful force for change and for development towards a sustainable society. At the Department of Design, we offer programmes and courses which provide the student with sound knowledge of design and a solid foundation in the field of sustainability. Tuition takes place in teams whereby different teachers with practical, theoretical and artistic perspectives teach together. Via our research, the department contributes to sustainable societal development.
