Department Vision & Career Paths
“Nurturing Designers who Design the Future and Connect Society”
The Department of Industrial Design at Kyung Hee University views design not merely as visual completion, but as a problem-solving tool that connects technology, people, and society. Our goal is to cultivate future-oriented designers who deeply understand industrial and social trends and respond creatively to change.
