The Product Design/Ceramic and Glass Design course at BURG offers a unique Master's degree in porcelain, ceramics and glass, combining creative innovation, experimental use of materials and technical and craft expertise.

Eating and nutritional culture as well as home and living culture, in their socially formative significance and their continuous change, play a central role in the content of the programme. Students work in well equipped studios, the degree programme's own workshops for plaster and porcelain and in partner glassworks. Excursions and co-operation with industry characterise the hands-on course.

The study course offers practical, interdisciplinary and individually tailored training in small groups. A particular focus lies on the promotion of aesthetic design awareness, methodical shaping and the systematic development of a three-dimensional design practice.
