The MA programme puts emphasis on personal in-depth studies and interdisciplinary cooperation during their MA project as well a joint project with their fellow students at Dept of Design. The programme aims at developing students´ ability to think comprehensively and to address complex problems based on a broad and thorough understanding of design as method.

The Department strives to educate designers who, apply a comprehensive approach and who boldly, emphatically and skilfully develop formal and functional solutions for a rapidly changing environment. The MA programme in Design offers specialisations in Furniture and Spatial Design/Interior Architecture and Visual Communication.


Contents

The initial focus of the curriculum emphasises methodology, progresses with focus on the students´ own MA project and concludes with courses in rhetoric and the transition to professional life.

All students share the same theoretical foundation, independent of their specialisation. Theory includes three main segments; communication, the market- and cultural skills, and methodology. The designer´s role in society and identity are key elements in all segments.
The interdisciplinary programme includes introductory courses, joint projects, workshops in e.g. concept, project management, writing and courses preparing the candidate for the future as professional designer. The MA programme in design also offers courses in specialities such as creative typography, universal design, colour, use of materials etc. These courses vary from one term to the other.
The programme intends to develop strategic and conceptual skills among students, strengthen their ability to work independently and to manage large-scale projects together with others. The Dept of Design expects its students to develop skills in empathy, communication and flexibility, and to create a basis for personal growth. These skills will enable the students to address complex situations in a rapidly changing world.
