INDUSTRIAL DESIGN (TURKISH)
Undergraduate Program - Information Package
The Department of Industrial Design at the Faculty of Architecture and Design, OSTİM Technical University, admitted its first students in the 2019–2020 academic year. The language of instruction is Turkish, and the duration of the program is four years. Our department is an undergraduate program aimed at educating industrial designers who are adapted to current developments in technology and digitalization.
The Department of Industrial Design aims to educate individuals who can design products—particularly those intended for mass production in the industry—by considering factors such as functionality, ergonomics, and cost, and who can also plan the production methods and processes of these products. Graduates of this department are capable of working in coordination with various disciplines during the development of new products or the improvement of existing ones, generating solutions to problems and ensuring the successful execution of the design process.
An industrial designer combines art and engineering in product design. While creating the style and function of a product, industrial designers focus on the user experience. Defined as designers of products, systems, services, and experiences, industrial designers have the opportunity to work in a wide range of fields—from toys to jewelry, furniture to home appliances, industrial equipment to motor vehicles. In a globalized world where competition is increasing, it is becoming increasingly important for products to have clear advantages over their competitors in terms of both function and aesthetics. To ensure that products meet desired qualities and stand out in the market, it has become essential for individuals specialized in industrial design to take an active role in the industry.
As a Third Generation University, OSTİM Technical University has established its place in Turkey and the world by introducing an innovative and entrepreneurial education model built on industry, production, and academia collaboration. By placing workplace experience and practical applications at the core, it has integrated them into its educational approach. In this context, our Contribution Goals for Our Country and the World are:
- To train industrial designers who, through a practice-based education model, possess up-to-date technical knowledge and skills; can effectively analyze the relationship between product, user, and environment; are versatile, environmentally conscious, innovative, ethically responsible; capable of working in interdisciplinary teams; and are in demand in both national and international markets.
- To generate knowledge through qualified scientific research in priority areas and to develop original solutions to various problems by transferring this knowledge to students, production sectors, and other segments of society.
- To contribute to national and regional development by generating original projects, ideas, and products in the field.
- To contribute to the production of high value-added outputs in industry, enhance competitiveness, and serve as a guiding force in the economic, technological, social, and cultural development of our country.
- To enrich the principles and models of education and training in our country and around the world through innovative and creative approaches.
As a result of the successful completion of the Industrial Design Program, the “Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design” is obtained.
The “Industrial Design Bachelor's Degree” obtained as a result of the successful completion of the Industrial Design Bachelor's Program is accepted as the undergraduate level in higher education (EQFLL: 6.level; QF-EHEA: 1.level) – (http://tyyc.yok.gov.tr/?pid=31)
The placement of the students in the program is done by Assessment, Selection and Placement Centre (OSYM). Foreign students are placed following the verification of the equivalence of their high school degrees as well as other requirements specified in the higher education legislation and the OSTIM Technical University legislation in force and other relevant legislation. OSTIM Technical University shall establish its own selection and placement system for foreign students within the legislation in force when deemed necessary.
