In this course you will learn basic theories, concepts and methods of Design Thinking. With practical case studies and exercises, you will gain insights into different approaches and applications of design thinking in various industries and functional areas. The course is interdisciplinary and therefore suitable for students of many disciplines. Previous knowledge is not assumed.

Each chapter is structured according to the same principle. First, Prof. Dr. Hahn and Prof. Dr. Groll give you a short introduction to the respective chapter and define learning objectives in an intro video. Then you watch the content of the presentation in H5P video format. All presentations are also available for you to download in PDF format. To give you an insight into how the Design Thinking method is applied in practice, we have interviewed practitioners in Microlectures.

The certificate of achievement is a 90-minute written exam, which will take place in person. Further information regarding date and place of the exam will be announced in the forum. The Registration takes place via the vhb portal. You also have the opportunity to improve your grade by working on the E - Portfolio. The E - Portfolio accounts for up to 10% of the final grade.

We look forward to the course with you and wish you fun and success!
