In this sense the programme offers a `metadesign´ approach that helps you to question design as we currently know it, reconcile your creative aspirations with your responsibilities as a designer, situate your design thinking and practice within a multicultural and interdisciplinary discourse, develop a theoretical framework, and acquire a working design knowledge to develop and articulate subtle ideas to relevant stakeholders.
The MA provides a safe place for taking risks and asking difficult questions. We aim to enhance your ability to address practical design problems in the future by encouraging you to discuss, map, write and `pitch´ your futures-focused design proposal to specific audiences. Our unique approach to thinking and writing enables you to find a deeper meaning and value in things that really interest you.
The programme highlights a range of shared issues that are intended to act as thematic `filters´ through which you can explore individual concerns. The following four seminar themes correspond to four 5,000-word design proposals required for assessment: Ethics and the Environment; Knowledge and Communication; Society and the Individual; Culture, Technology and Change. By the end of the programme, you submit a 15,000-word dissertation. This can address any design-related issue of your choosing. Part of its purpose is to give you the opportunity to reflect upon your existing design concerns and beliefs in more depth.
