Master's Programme in Transportation Design

Transportation is an essential and integral part of any society; with population growth and environmental problems creating challenges, the transportation industry must address new and innovative solutions. As a transportation designer, you can influence this development by producing competent products that appeal to people's hearts and minds. During your studies, you learn how to work with conceptual ideas through collaboration with external partners.

The Master's programme in Transportation Design at Umeå Institute of Design is unique in covering general transportation problem areas and their relation to the transport industry worldwide. The study programme is based on the Scandinavian design tradition, which emphasises the understanding of the users' interests and needs as a key to successful products.

We teach and research the fields of language, religion, history, archaeology, philosophy, history of ideas, art, literature, ethnology, media and culture.
