The Industrial Design program at Jiangnan University is a four-year undergraduate design major offered through the university’s School of Design, one of China’s earliest and most influential design education bases. The program emphasises a user-centred, interdisciplinary approach that integrates creative thinking, engineering fundamentals and market understanding to solve real-world product and experience challenges. Students study design theory, human-product interaction, materials and manufacturing, visual communication, and innovation methodology, while engaging in hands-on projects, prototype development and industry collaborations that bridge aesthetics, technology and business. Through project-based learning and practical training, graduates develop the skills needed to conceive, design and optimise products, systems and services that meet functional, ergonomic and cultural needs, preparing them for careers in industrial design, product development, user experience, design research and creative industries. The program benefits from Jiangnan University’s strong design reputation, international partnerships and award-winning achievements in competitions such as Red Dot and iF Design Awards.
