Overview
Great products and services don’t just happen. Behind them lies a development process that starts with careful consideration of market needs, the competitive environment, company resources, the brand image, and the style and function of the new product or service to be created.
Learning outcomes
The focus of the Strategic Product Design (SPD) Master’s programme at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is on the business context of product and service design. This can be the context of large international corporations, strong design consultancies, or start-up entrepreneurship.
Students learn to apply techniques like market and brand analysis, future scenarios, and technology road mapping as drivers for strategic product design. They also learn to create robust design strategies for business with a strong social and economic rationale. Ultimately, students acquire the skills to help companies conceptualise, develop and introduce socially sound, and commercially successful products and services.
