Course Description

Design is everywhere, and the role of design has evolved from making pretty things’, to being a creative platform to unpack and tackle complexity. Designers today are applying design processes, such as Human-Centred Design to build empathy to redefine complex social and business problems. They’re helping the world become a better place. This postgraduate course is for experienced or recently graduated designers looking to expand their design abilities, as well as for non-designers who want to learn and apply design to their own fields. The course provides you with insights into the sophisticated roles of design in society, while learning about trans-disciplinary design strategies. You’ll be encouraged to view the design process as a collaborative activity that generates innovation through making and prototyping. In the latter stages of the course, you’ll focus on an advanced design application through the production of a major piece of sustained work that will fuse contemporary studio-based practice and theory with rigorous critical analysis.
