The MA Design has design thinking and innovation at its centre. Students develop key research methodologies exploring research and practice-based design solutions that respond to the changing needs of society. Students across all design disciplines and those from other disciplines are challenged in developing innovative solutions to real-world scenarios.
This interdisciplinary, intertextual course enables students to explore the skills they need right across design – students direct their own higher level study in their chosen field, from fashion to industrial design, through their own major project. The programme embeds students' development through live projects or internships with optional modules in specific design areas.
Students learn through initiatives and activities that stimulate and develop creative practice, problem-solving, manufacture and distribution. Thinking, making and observation are applied to practical and social contexts. Their playful and fictional approaches are encouraged through workshops and connections with international events and research projects. The course is delivered by a diverse range of staff with internationally recognized profiles in research and practice.
