Designing Democracy

The Sandberg Instituut

This interdisciplinary studio explores the power of design to activate possible forms of collectivity – the quality or state of being collective – and ranges from intervening on the scale of personal media to rethinking the institutions of democracy itself. The program aims to apply design as a specific method of critical thinking and use it to reimagine collective structures of dialogue, debate and social progress. Design used to be one of the self-evident tools to shape politics, but today the role of design in large-scale politics is either underestimated or controversial. The aim of the studio is to understand this reconfiguration and to experiment with new articulations of design that give shape to democratic politics.

Study abroad in English

The most common way to assess your English level is by taking a standardised English test, such as:

  • PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English)
  • TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
  • IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing System)
  • C1 Advanced (formerly known as CAE – Cambridge English Advanced)
What makes PTE Academic stand out among these renowned English exams is the use of A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) to correct the answers of tests takers. This ensures that the results are unbiased and offer a 100% objective evaluation. Another great advantage of using A.I. is speed – results are typically available within 2 business days after taking PTE Academic.
