Career options with a degree in Design Leadership
Graduates work in a dynamically developing environment that requires exactly the skills they have acquired during their studies. They take on positions of responsibility in the traditional communications and creative industries, where they focus in particular on strategic and operational tasks. Some prepare themselves for independent work as freelancers or set up their own companies. Outside the traditional design professions, they work in interdisciplinary teams (and lead them) to support companies, organisations and institutions in the analysis, conception and implementation of strategic communication. For example as:

• Design strategist
• Design manager
• Design operations manager
• Innovation designer
• Design strategist user experience
• Chief digital officer
• Digital transformation officer
