Space & Service Design
DESIGN FOR CHANGE
Space & Service Design is an emerging design discipline which aims at improving the experience of the users of (semi-) public spaces and services. Research-led design and user-centred methodologies lead you to design relevant services, spaces, objects, furniture and communication tools for society-oriented design challenges for real clients. We stimulate designers to be socially aware and proactive change agents.
DESIGN INDUSTRY BASED
You will receive a Postgraduate in Space & Service Design Certificate (60 credits in English).
This UNIQUE postgraduate programme is a specialisation course which aims at widening or deepening existing design competences with service design knowledge and skills. A postgraduate largely focuses on developing professional skills and expanding your personal network. The acquired knowledge can be used immediately in a working environment.
Why do a postgraduate? Doing a postgraduate can give your CV and portfolio added value on the labour market. Empower and complement your current design competences by tackling, cross-disciplinary, challenging design projects in real contexts such as Design for Learning, Design for Health, Design for Ageing, Design for Sustainable Development, Design for Hospitality, Design for Nature Preservation and much more. Become a future-proof designer!

“I would say Space & Service Design is a course for anyone who wants to have a real impact, work with real
clients and generally just grow as a person and as a designer. It is an intense learning experience that gives you resilience and new insights in the way the world works. The projects are unique, interesting and the outcomes have an impact on real people in the real world, not just on paper.
