It’s for experimental and curious designers who want to broaden their practice and collaborate with people from all design disciplines. This approach is critical to the future of design - we need bolder ideas that go beyond conventional boundaries, if we’re going to help solve society’s big challenges. You will take part in range of live design projects, which will involve working with industry and community stakeholders. This will develop and test your practice and help you build a professional network. Develop a personalised design curriculum and shape your professional future, with optional modules, professional development seminars, and the freedom to develop your own design projects. We’re using technology in innovative ways to provide an online studio environment as well as a physical studio on campus. So wherever you are, you will be able to interact with others. This new MA/MDes Design will help you develop your creativity and grow into a more adaptable, resourceful and collaborative designer. It looks to the future of design and the big challenges facing global society and equips you with the core knowledge, skills and competencies you will need to face the uncertainties of the next few decades. The programme has been designed to prepare you for the challenges and opportunities provided by changing industries, economies, cultures and societies, and to develop a personal practice which makes a positive contribution to that future.
Applicants are normally required to hold an undergraduate degree (minimum second class) in a related subject, or an equivalent qualification, and must submit a 500-word project proposal along with a portfolio of their practice. Depending on qualifications, experience, and the quality of submitted work, applicants may be invited to attend a portfolio interview, typically conducted online. The interview provides an opportunity to demonstrate enthusiasm for Design, discuss interests and experimentation within the field, and explore questions related to the course. Applicants will also be expected to outline their intended focus of study, including specific pathways, and present and discuss their previous work.
