Programme overview
In the Masters programme we focus on three themes: living and behaviour, form and technology, or man and nature. The programme consists of individual industrial design projects, workshops and additional theoretical courses. You will participate in and contribute to the creation of knowledge within the eld of design. By organising exhibitions, seminars and workshops you will communicate your work and participate in the public debate.

About the Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University (LTH) is among the leading engineering faculties in Europe, with more than 7000 undergraduates and 800 postgraduates. Founded in 1961, as an independent institute, it today belongs to Lund University. LTH is one of few complete engineering faculties in Sweden. Besides the traditional engineering programmes we offer architecture, industrial design and re safety engineering. LTH is a global leader in many disciplines, including communication technology, life sciences, cleantech, urban development and applied physics. Thanks to the fact that LTH belongs to a large university, cooperation between different disciplines is stimulated in a unique way. Consequently, LTH is recognised for its cross disciplinary research, e.g. between the medical and technical sciences. The Faculty of Engineering has strong links to industry, in particular to market leading international companies in the vicinity and the research companies at Ideon Science Park, the rst of its kind in northern Europe. These companies include ST Ericsson, Intel, Sony mobile division, Qliktech, Research in Motion and Tetra Pak.
