Course Description

This postgraduate degree programme develops the artistic and humanistic skills belonging to the design culture together with the technical know-how that relates to production technology, materials and manufacturing costs. It strives to meet the need of operating in a worldwide landscape of heightened competition where the designer can increase the value of a consumer product by creating innovation – in both aesthetics and usability – that takes advantage of available technologies and ever-changing consumer lifestyles. Candidates will build an improved critical capability to explore contemporary design languages, focus on experimentation with innovative interdisciplinary technologies and materials from preliminary concept to finish, and focus on understanding and developing sustainable production and consumption processes.
