MA Study Information Day

Twice a year, the university organizes a Master’s information day. The Master’s degree course in Strategic Design at the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd combines the areas of design, management and research in its advanced study program.

The information day offers ample opportunity to obtain information about the degree program in Strategic Design and to speak directly with the students and professors. Interested parties can also take part in presentations by former Master’s students, such as „Why Master’s in Strategic Design?“ or „Master’s before and after: What remains between the lines?“.

The participants will gain insight into everyday student life and project work in the Master’s degree programme. In personal discussions with students, professors and degree program coordinators, questions about the application and the course of study can be clarified.

We look forward to welcoming interested students to the Auditorium for the upcoming information day.
