Design and Humanities

Do you want to use design to make a difference in the world? Would you like to create visual messages that have impact? Or are you interested in specialising in fields like cultural sciences, postcolonial studies, digital humanities, or English linguistics and comparative literature?

Linnaeus University offers a number of programmes that can lead to creative and inspiring professions within design and the humanities.

Career opportunities

If you choose to study a design programme, you will combine artistic design with visual arts, design and knowledge about sustainability. You will acquire cutting-edge knowledge to develop societies that are good for both humans and the environment.

You can also choose to specialise for work as a visual communications officer or study innovation with specialisation in design. By studying a humanities programme, you become prepared for work within, among other things, the cultural sector and the education sector. You can also choose to work with library and information or cultural heritage questions.
