A bachelor's degree in Industrial Design provides you with a broad foundation as a designer. Our students then go on to specialize in the master's program in Industrial Design, where they are given a great deal of freedom in putting together their curriculum, allowing them to develop a unique profile of their own. Many also choose to pursue a master's degree elsewhere. After that, they enter the business world, start their own companies, find jobs at design agencies, go to work in R&D departments at large companies or organizations, or non-profit organizations, such as governments and health organizations.

### Subsequent master

Your TU/e Industrial Design Bachelor diploma offers direct access to the Master program of Industrial Design at TU/e. During the Master's program, there will be more focus on design research. You will deepen your knowledge of the expertise areas and through the **specialization track courses** you are being prepared for a future career in:\
 - Design Leadership and Entrepreneurship (if you want to start your own business or work in a strategic position in a company or organization);\
 - Constructive Design Research (if you want to work in industry; typically, at the R&D department of a company or as a design consultant); and\
 - Research Design and Development. (If you like to continue in research, for instance in a PhD position).

Through projects and courses the ID master offers you the opportunity to specialize your knowledge and skills as a designer and can collaborate with experts on projects. The ID master curriculum offers a variety of courses to support you in realizing your ambitions. There is one compulsory core course, Constructive Design Research, one track course and 25 ECTS of free elective space and 3 semester-long projects. Also, in the first semester of year 2, you have the freedom to choose the following options: an exchange, master courses in ID or externally, or start preparing for your final master project in or outside the university.
