This year, the diploma projects of the Department of Design focus on the following topics: ecological sustainability, identity and diversity, digital fabrication technologies, materials research, health, socio-cultural trends, technological innovations, interaction, storytelling, play, and digital literacy. All projects can be filtered by keyword or grouped by degree programme. The search function allows you to search for specific diploma students and diploma projects. The project site includes links to comprehensive, discipline-specific diploma presentations.
The Diploma Exhibition Design 2025 is accompanied by an extensive and public surrounding programme. All events take place at the Toni-Areal. Find more information here.
We hope you enjoy discovering the versatile content and we look forward to your participation in the numerous events for the 2025 Design Diploma.
Due to the ZHdK-wide reform of the Major-Minor programme model, no Master's diplomas can be presented in the Department of Design this year. From 2026, we will once again present both degree programmes as part of the Design Diploma Exhibition. Information on the Master's programme in Design at ZHdK can be found here.
