Product Design in Genk

Academische Bachelor / Exchange Programme
Curriculum

Our degree stands for academic education and research in the field of Product Design with a critical and visionary view on society. The Product Design program aims to encourage its students and teachers to respond to a rapidly changing society based on their own identity, in which product designers can make a difference.

We offer the interesting design modules for international students, depending on the chosen Semester. The design modules are theme directed. The design assignments are contextualized within a particular theme that poses a Contemporary Design Challenge. This gives students insight into how design shapes a world in change and what the designer's role can be in this.

We welcome Erasmus exchange students starting from 3rd bachelor level in both Semesters and even for a full year.

At LUCA we attach great importance to the quality of our courses

If the basic principle of the policy plan means that 'quality is our driving force', and that every aspect of the policy can be tested against this, then LUCA undeniably wants to develop and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture that leaves based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and which is aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.

The formal quality framework for training within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Training with Peers in Own Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality care that is based on trust and aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.

During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each training course receives a panel of critical friends who examine the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the training contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The final element of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of training quality. The key question is: "Does the program have a good quality culture that follows the 'plan-do-check-act' circle?"

LUCA publishes a quality sheet for each course. You can find this on the Education Quality page.
