Location of Kingston University
This innovative course offers design graduates the opportunity to study the subject at MA level alongside a PgCert in higher education.
A PgCert is increasingly a requirement for new teachers in further and higher education. The University has a well-established and very successful PgCert in higher education in-house.
Design Research Centre
The Design Research Centre1 provides a creative environment for researchers engaging with the cultural, environmental and presentational contexts of design practice in its widest sense. Research in this diverse area is developed through five interrelated areas:
* Curating the Contemporary - focusing on new initiatives and perspectives on curating, including the interface between design, craft and fine art;
* Design Innovation - focusing on the presentational contexts of contemporary design practice;
* Design for Environments - including design for wellbeing, health and micro-environments, as well as spatial, aesthetic and critical enquiries into building typologies and cultural analysis of urban and leisure environments;
* Design for Screen - focusing on interdisciplinary and practice-based enquiries into screen-based media; and
* Sustainability2 - multidisciplinary research into issues of sustainability across product and packaging design, recycling and materials innovation.
