Department of Design

Also in 2022, Showcase Design will be presenting the most outstanding BA and MA theses from the Department of Desgin to the interested public.
The website lets the designers behind the projects have their say, offers networking opportunities and sees itself as the figurehead of the Department of Desgin.
 
Every year, up to 150 bachelor's and master's students graduate from the Department of Desgin at the Zurich University of the Arts.
What distinguishes all diploma projects shown on Showcase Design is their will to innovate, their practical relevance, their future orientation and the critical, unconventional examination of their respective discipline.
 
Showcase Design sees itself as a platform for the best projects that have started in one of the seven disciplines of the Department of Desgin.
This exquisite selection is a yardstick for the understanding of design at the ZHdK and paves the way for the creative industries of tomorrow.
The selection of the works is made by the individual subject area heads and is congruent with the sponsorship award nominations of the Department of Desgin of the respective year.
