China's economy is changing rapidly from a manufacturing-intensive model to an innovation-intensive one. Industrial design education plays a vital role in the establishment of a pool of innovative talent to facilitate this process.
The BEng Industrial Design program is highly internationalised with absorption and utilisation of the best practices and latest development trends in this area. As an interdisciplinary program it integrates engineering, anthropology, and aesthetics, as well as plenty of professional skills in design visualisation. Students also have the opportunity to contact local and multinational enterprises and obtain actual design experience.
The BEng Industrial Design program seeks to educate a new generation of industrial and product designers with a balance of synthetic and analytic knowledge and competencies, from both engineering and the humanities. It takes a studio-centered and interdisciplinary approach and has an international perspective in which students are educated to bridge cultural differences between China and the rest of the world.

Careers
BEng Industrial Design graduates have excellent career opportunities. The Chinese economy is rapidly transforming from 'made in China' to 'created in China', which means there is a growing demand for industrial designers working in design and research and development departments of multinational enterprises or as design consultants and freelance designers.
Suzhou and the surrounding cities are home to many international and Chinese companies, some of which you will get to know during your studies. Because of the cross-cultural focus of the programme, our graduates are well-positioned to work internationally.
Many graduates also pursue further postgraduate education or other professional careers that emphasise conceptual thinking, excellent communication skills and the cross-cultural appreciation of creativity, innovation processes, user needs and behaviours, and consumer markets.
