Our programme is for creative individuals interested in developing progressive and sustainable design solutions. Students are encouraged to develop a reflective approach and invest their time in research, participate in group discussions with their peers and respond to critical appraisal from their lecturers. This approach enables students to develop a deep understanding of the broader context surrounding their ideas, rather than simply rushing to create a product from scratch.
In an era where Ai is transforming industries, the uniqueness of this programme ensures that our graduates develop irreplaceable skills and remain at the forefront of the design world. Graduates leave with the ability to lead teams and think critically, making making them indispensable in the job market, opening doors to higher salaries and senior roles in organisations and startups.
A unique aspect is the Advanced Practice module where students complete an internship, research project, university-based project or residency. During this period students further develop their professional knowledge and skills while building valuable professional connections. The engagement with external businesses also allows students to see the enterprise potential of their own original and innovative design visions while building valuable professional connections.
The programme is designed to accommodate the schedules of working professionals in the creative industries. Lectures and meet ups are outside of working hours and is available in two formats: Intensive, which can be completed in 12-18 months, and standard, which takes 24-30 months. Over the course of their studies, students should expect to attend workshops & guest lectures, as well as undertake independent learning and group work of approximately 16-17 hours per week.
* Study plan for Intensive format. Modules in standard format are spread over two years, four semesters.
MA Future Design offers an in-depth exploration of design strategy, research and practice, which gives students the framework and space to design and problem solve for a rapidly changing world.
Ruth's final project highlighted possible scenarios that could occur when work is fully developed by AI tools. Her project showed how AI will drastically change the course of all industries, from tech to healthcare to education and beyond and how it is vital to start the conversation and better prepare society for this transition. Her biggest insight was the importance of participatory design practices. "In order to achieve truly ethical and inclusive designs, we have to be making them with, for, and alongside the people that they will impact. This is especially true when designing AI systems."
Students can expect 9 to 12 hours of class time a week, plus additional workshops & guest lectures. Further independent learning and group work of around 16-17 hours per week is expected.
