All design courses at German universities can be researched on this platform: which courses are there, which universities offer them, are they private or state universities and many other questions are answered immediately here. The free offer is aimed specifically at anyone who is interested in studying design and would like up-to-date and independent guidance.
In 2025, The New Collection will celebrate its 100th birthday. On this occasion she is cooperating with the iF Design Foundation and looking to the future of design and design education. As part of an open campus, concrete impulses for fundamental change in design studies are collected, applied, reflected on and published. The kick-off event outlines the horizon of this research project together with Michele de Lucchi (AMDL Milan, Università Ca'Foscari Venice) and Gareth Loudon (Royal College of Art, London).
How do we learn? In recent decades, far-reaching findings have come to light that provide fundamentally new answers to this question. A new scientific area has been established internationally: the learning and teaching sciences. These findings have hardly yet reached design theory. This event is therefore dedicated to four exemplary topics – learning experience, materiality, growth mindset and impact measurement – as impulses for changing design teaching.
Design studies must change radically. This is the central result of the research we conducted starting in 2016 and published in the White Paper on the Future of Design Teaching in 2021. How exactly can this be achieved? In our follow-up project, we are gathering global insights: pragmatic suggestions for anyone who wants to change their design theory immediately. This project is an open campus in cooperation with The New Collection Munich on the occasion of its 100th birthday in 2025.
