Design Weeks provide design practitioners with city-wide venues to exhibit their work and discuss current design issues. Dutch Design Week (DDW), which takes place in Eindhoven, Netherlands, is the largest design event in northern Europe and one of the most vibrant as a channel for experimental designers. With more than 2,600 designers exhibiting work in over one hundred locations across the city, students will have plenty to see and do. This study abroad focuses on activities, exhibits, and the latest design developments at DDW. A short amount of time will be spent in Amsterdam exploring museums, visiting notable design stores, and eating Dutch pancakes.

Preparation

Students must commit to the entire duration of Design Week and are responsible to meet at the designated times and locations for all scheduled program events.

Students must meet all country- and program-specific COVID and health requirements for travel.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing and you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in international locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see our travel policy.
