You'll master speculative design, systems thinking, rapid prototyping, and generative AI — using design as a strategic tool to tackle global challenges from climate crisis to technological disruption. Work with international faculty and a vibrant, multicultural community. Graduate with a University of Bedfordshire degree and step into roles as a design strategist, innovation consultant, or creative leader. Shape meaningful change. Design tomorrow.

MSc Innovative Design is a multidisciplinary programme that brings together creativity and cutting-edge technologies. Students develop expertise in integrated innovation, human–product interaction, digital fabrication, and AI-enabled design, guided by teaching that spans engineering, design, and computing.

The Master of Arts Degree Program in Visual and Innovation Design is a two-year artistic specialization designed to launch designers beyond the boundaries of traditional graphic design limitations. The course provides training and preparation for students to competently create visual communication, using a blend of multimedia design, visual design, and advertising skills.

Study a Master of Arts in Design Management. This Design M.A. programme is taught entirely in English at our Macromedia campus in Munich or Berlin, Germany.

Situated Design is a graduation track of the Master of Arts in Fine Art & Design at Avans. The programme recognizes you as a distinct presence in the world. You immerse in modern discourses and focus on prevailing conditions, situated knowledge and design practices. Your studies will take place within a diverse community of master's students from different backgrounds. You frequently collaborate with each other, across pathways and outside of the campus. This way you gain experience in a wide range of practices and establish a valuable network. Situated Design maintains strong connections with designers, publishers and institutions in the Netherlands and abroad.Through exposure to a variety of design methodologies and practices, students learn to iterate design concepts and are able to analyze, inform and shape their projects from concept to final project. Students learn to design with emerging technologies and creative software to create new perspectives and innovative forms of design and user experiences.

The School of Design is home to internationally significant research, much of which is practice-based. The teaching and research areas of the School – Design Products, Fashion, Innovation Designing Engineering, Healthcare Design, Robotics, Service Design and Textiles – represent a wide range of approaches to design research.

We are convinced that broad competence in innovation and design from a holistic perspective is needed to deal with future challenges. In the international Master's programme in Innovation and Design, you acquire specialist theoretical knowledge and practical skills for interacting in a global market. After your studies, you will be competitive in the labour market and prepared for doctoral studies.

New for 2023. The Design Futures programme is designed to enable you to work across all the disciplines and beyond, to build future-shaping knowledge and skills, address the challenges we face, envision and then navigate towards a preferred future through design-led interventions. It will allow you to ask the ‘big questions’ about disruptive innovation, ethics for design, design resilience, shared values, future forecasting and design for safety.

The boundaries between design, visual communication and visual arts practices are becoming increasingly blurred. Our MA Design encourages a healthy interplay of work and ideas between disciplines. This is a practical design course, grounded in professional development and research. We encourage you to work independently and collaboratively alongside students of curation, graphic design, photography, illustration, and other Design and Fine Art specialisms to build a strong professional and critical context for your practice.

This program offers a studio-based, interdisciplinary approach to design, tackling societal challenges. Established and innovative design concepts are incorporated in a unique collaborative setup across campuses.

MA Design Innovation considers how design acts as a catalyst for innovation, leading to new products, services, and user experiences. It focuses on design thinking approaches to address contemporary societal and business challenges to develop a rich understanding of where design can add value.

The Master of Architecture (MArch) in Design for Manufacture is a program that focuses on giving students a deep understanding of how to design and produce innovative and sustainable manufacturing solutions. It combines principles of design, engineer…

The Research Master in Design focuses on the research practice specific to design. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it addresses and questions the positioning, questions and strategies of design research. The aim of this master's degree is to train designer-researchers capable of questioning the forms of contemporary life through the project and research in design.

The Master in Design of the University of Aveiro, now renewed (2nd cycle of training), aims to provide students with critical awareness and creative capacity, leading to a competent professional practice of Design.

The MArch Design Practice is a one-year programme that supports architects, designers, and spatial practitioners’ creative and critical engagement with the design of the built environment. With climate as a central focus, students will consider how reuse, materials, waste, and embodied carbon intersect with economics, politics, and identity to produce new opportunities for design practice in the just transition toward a fair and flourishing world. Students will critically engage with the planetary implications of construction and make bold, rigorous and informed design propositions through which a world otherwise can be built.

Computational Design or Facade Design? Select the focus area that best corresponds to your interests, and that you want to utilize to help shape the architecture of the future. State-of-the-art technology is the focus of our four-semester Master’s program in Integrated Design.

The Master's Degree in Design Research is a multidisciplinary space for reflection in action. Using inventive research methods and experimental approaches in design, the master's degree invites you to imagine, design and materialise alternatives capable of addressing the challenges of the present.
