Product designers generally work in interdisciplinary teams, some of which they also lead. They are in regular contact with customers, suppliers, production companies and various specialists in the respective industry. In Data Product Design, commitment is required after product design training, as there are always work-intensive phases so that projects can be completed on time.

The CAS Data Product Design (UAS) certificate course is aimed at professionals with professional experience as analysts, data miners, IT project managers, engineers, specialists in analytical marketing, consultants, software developers, business analysts, data analysts, software architects and marketing experts.

Product designers work in design offices, in the design departments of industrial or craft businesses, in institutions or as freelancers in their own studios. Environmentally friendly, energy-saving and circular products are becoming increasingly important. In order to survive in a highly competitive and constantly changing environment, professionals must keep up to date even after their product design training, e.g. through continuing education, further training or attending trade fairs and exhibitions.

CAS Data Product Design (UAS) teaches theoretical and practical skills in data security and data protection, in service design and business model design, each with data-specific aspects, as well as in user testing, rapid prototyping and practical implementation skills.

The activities after the Product Design course are

• Implementing service and business model design with data-specific aspects
• Apply practical implementation skills
• Using rapid prototyping
• Carry out user testing
• Consider aspects of data protection and data security in data product design

Product design is a process that turns an idea into a successful product. It is geared towards the goals of both the consumer and the company. This means that both the needs of the user and the available budget must be taken into account when designing the product. Product design deals with this topic. Data product designers deal explicitly with the interface between technical and business issues as well as systemic methods.

A university degree is desirable for the CAS Product Design, but not mandatory. Persons with comparable qualifications and relevant professional experience have the possibility of being admitted "sur dossier", individually by the course management.

You need the following skills to study product design:

• Sense of form, color and function
• Imagination and innovative spirit
• Analytical-conceptual skills
• Technical understanding
• customer-oriented behavior
• Operational readiness
