Jewellery, Technology and Business

The professional bachelor programme takes 3½ years and is made up of mandatory courses, optional courses and a bachelor project.

On the programme, you will learn how to make jewellery using both traditional tools and modern technology. You will learn about the production of jewellery from idea to point-of-sale, including concept development and supply chain management.

You will be taught about the form, function and aesthetics of jewellery, about choice of materials; such as stones, metal or synthetics, about trends, production technology and innovation. You will also learn how to analyse commercial organisations and markets.

You will be able to specialise, from the second year on, by choosing electives. This can be in subjects such as:

• Business and Innovation
• Jewellery, Concept and Identity
• From Idea to Finished Product
• Jewellery and Innovation
• Business and Consumers

You receive practical training through work placement in the 6^th semester.

To complete the programme, you work on a bachelor project which relates to your chosen specialisation.

Teaching varies between lectures, class instruction, seminars, exercises, clinical studies, and as project work in groups. During your studies, you must also complete an internship in a company or organisation.
