Nottingham Trent University's MA Design: Products and Furniture course is aimed at designers looking to master their approach to develop innovative products, furniture, systems or services. Underpinned by a focus on the student's own specialism, students will explore the multidisciplinary field of design, challenge the norms in design thinking and engage with the realities of designing for new and emerging markets.
Students will analyse the relationship between traditional craft skills, new technology and modern manufacture, with ideas and approaches informed by collaborative working and hands-on experience. Through contemporary research and industry-applied projects and briefs, students will consider materials and manufacturing, and a broad range of strategies and approaches to help explore and understand markets, social needs and end users.
Who is this course designed for?
This course is aimed at design professionals or graduates with a design-related honours degree. The course, and the associated support provided by the University, will enable graduates to develop advanced design, technological and manufacturing skills, enabling them to start their own business, work within the manufacturing industry, design consultancies, research and development organisations, or to progress to further study by engaging in research.
