Programme profile

This programme is offered by the university's School of Form , a newly established international higher school of design, which accepted its first students in October 2011. The school is located in Poznań.

- design studio - classes aimed at developing and improving the practical skills associated with a particular discipline of design. The classes are taught by practicing designers

- integrated studio - classes are taught by two lecturers - a specialist in the field of humanities and a practicing designer. The classes are thematically inspired by humanistic knowledge, which is translated into the practical implementation of design issues
