The HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL offers a Bachelor's program in Product and Industrial Design, where students are introduced to contemporary design processes and gain knowledge in user experience design, modern rapid prototyping technologies, and 3D modeling. They also learn to develop product strategies that take the entire lifecycle into account. Starting with simple projects, students work through the entire product development pipeline — from initial design research to pre-production prototypes.
