The MA Sustainable Design welcomes those who want to direct their existing creative practice towards ambitious and inclusive visions of sustainability.
It focuses on the power of social innovation, systems thinking, and design for service to drive collective sustainable change. This established course will enable students to raise their sustainability literacy, and then design meaningful responses to the challenges of unsustainability that move them the most.
The cohort includes designers of communications, clothing, products, interiors, buildings, services, and digital environments, unified by a commitment to designing sustainability itself. Students will also have the chance to collaborate with students on other courses in the Design School. Students will benefit from site visits and visiting speakers from a wide range of organisations that further sustainability.
This course is part of the Design School's Postgraduate Framework. The structure, shared with postgraduate students from other design courses, enables students to explore their individual specialist interests within an integrative learning environment. Throughout the course, they'll understand the value and role of interdisciplinary methods and ways of working. The impact of thinking from related design subjects, on their own specialist study, is an important aspect of the identity and community of interdisciplinary practice at master's level in the Design School.
Kingston University allow students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the work placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
