Hello,
I’m an industrial designer doing the integrated product design program at TU Delft.
The course is very strong, the building (workshops, computer rooms and etc.) is amazing, and the students are usually very hard working. You have to be hard working if you want to graduate here. You can take many nice electives about different subjects.
But the most important for you is to know if the course is suitable for you. I found out too late that it’s not suitable for me. It’s really engineering oriented, so you have to be really interested in it (we have lectures and workshops about electronics and cyber physical systems for example). It’s also very methodological, we have to write a lot of reports. I also don’t like the weather here (I’m from Brazil) but since you are from norway, I think you won’t bother about this.
If you have more specific questions, let me know.

Hello Alan, Thank you for your informative answer! Wow, it’s great to speak to someone who are doing the program. It is sad to hear that it does not fit you right…, and due to the way you describe it, I’m afraid it will not be suitable for me either. Do you know what you’re going to do now? Are you going to complete the program, or do something else? I will say I definitely is a hard working person, but the fact that the program is so engineering oriented worries me a bit. I do not think I would be able to implement it… Do you know if it is as much engineering oriented on the “Strategic product design” program? He he, the weather worries me minimal, because here it’s just, wet, cold and dark…

Hello Lilly, sorry for the late response.
From what I heard from people doing the other masters, the master in “integrated product design” is the most engineering oriented, “strategic product design” is very theoretical ( a lot of things to read) and design for interaction is maybe a little bit more artistic. But all of them are very methodological.
About me, I’m not going to finish it. Now I’m applying for Elisava in Barcelona and Domus in Milano.
