This course focuses on the design methodology and design
practice in the field of industrial design. The course format is

level, the pace and study methods in IDI support students in the
possibility of reaching a high level of design skills and
competence during the study year. Studies are mainly
conducted in project form where theory and practice are combined.
The course is open for students from other disciplines than
industrial design who wish to specialise within the design
field.
Umeå Institute of Design offers several five- or ten-week
courses within the subject area of industrial design to provide for
different student categories to broaden their skills through design
methodology, and to specialise within the design field. Design
methodology for areas such as problem analysis, generating ideas,
visualising and presenting can be applied to a broad set of
contexts and areas, and are often helpful in other areas than
design as well. To these courses, applications are made through www.antagning.se, and no work samples or
applications are sent to UID.
