A 7-semester, 210-ECTS product design degree taught in English in Berlin, covering design basics, CAD, prototyping, ergonomics and sustainability. Students then choose a specialisation in either Car Design or Industrial Design.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • SRH does not publish specific Leaving Certificate rules; it asks for a recognised university entrance qualification. Under German recognition rules (KMK/anabin), the Leaving Cert gives direct university entry only if you have six subjects, including two languages and Maths (O5/H6 or better), with at least two at Higher Level at H5 or better and the rest at O6/H6 or better. Art and design falls in the humanities/arts area, so no extra subjects are needed. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with SRH admissions.
  • No portfolio is listed for this programme, but you must pass an admissions interview. Car Design is a specialisation within Product Design, not a separate application.
  • English: TOEFL 80, IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 95, or an official letter from your previous school confirming your lessons were taught in English. An Irish school should be able to provide this letter.
