This Design minor program, offered at Hanze University of Applied Sciences through the Minerva Art Academy, is designed for Bachelor's level students interested in a study abroad experience within a vibrant artistic community. You will be integrated into a second-year Design group, becoming part of the regular student body. The program is taught entirely in English and focuses on allowing pro-active art students to deepen their intellectual and artistic development. The minor is an elective course, meaning you can choose it based on your personal interests and objectives from a wide range of design disciplines. The program is structured around the semester system, with one semester equating to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits. Assessment occurs at the end of each semester, with courses graded as either a pass (voldoende) or fail (onvoldoende).
