Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in Weimar, Germany, offers a Product Design program built around the Weimar Model, an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes project-based learning. The program balances aesthetic, symbolic, and technical criteria with social, cultural, and ecological contexts, including sustainability and resource conservation.
Semester-long projects address Industrial Design and Artisanal Product Design, Design and Management, Emerging Technologies and Design, Transformative Design, Mobility and Exhibition Design, and Design Theory and Research. Students work in workshops, laboratories, and studios, and admission requires an artistic aptitude test; the program prepares graduates for design agencies, corporate design departments, and independent practice.
