The Professional Practice (Design) MA is a work-based learning qualification for those employed in the design industry. A masters degree by this route is awarded for learning that takes place at work or through professional creative practice. The course is aimed at mid-career design professionals. It provides an opportunity to reflect on your professional design career thus far, and potentially develop a new future direction. The programme allows you to be accredited for your past and ongoing professional achievement and learning. The course builds on the established reputation of the Faculty in the field of professional design including fashion, interior, product, furniture and graphic design.
What will you study?
You will develop an individually-tailored programme of study, approved in the form of a Learning Agreement.
