CMF List: Educational Resources for CMF Design

CMF清單:CMF設計教育資源、學位課程、學習網站、工作坊

CMF Designers come from a diverse range of academic background, mainly in Industrial Design (also known as Product Design), some in Material Engineering, Fashion, and more. There are very few degree programs dedicated to CMF Design. That is why I put together the list of educational resources for CMF Design, including degree programs, online courses, and in-person workshops that focus on CMF Design and are available for anyone pursuing this field.

This list does not contain any ranking or recommendation. Before registering or applying to any of these courses, please take time to visit their websites and work on further researches to decide if these are suitable for your need.

Note: The list focuses on CMF-specific learning, and therefore excludes credit courses that are part of a broader program, such as industrial design.

CMF設計師來自於多元的學術背景,其中以工業設計系為主(亦稱產品設計),另外還有材料工程、時尚等學系。然而專屬於CMF設計的學位課程卻非常稀少,因此下方整理了CMF設計教育資源清單,包括學位課程線上課程線下工作坊,幫助欲專精CMF領域的設計師求學運用。

此清單不附帶排名或評價,在註冊或申請任何課程之前,請花時間訪問學校網站並進行更深入的研究,以確定這些課程符合您的需求。

備註:本清單著重於可獨立學習CMF的資源,因此不包括其他學系內嵌的CMF學分課程。

  1. “In my case I learned CMF some years ago the hard way learning by doing at my job (but thanks to my design school teacher at that time for pointing me some useful information). Thus to fill in all possible knowledge gaps & complement a bit my profile I took the UAL CMF course. I really liked it and the lecturer is a really nice and a great communicator :)”
