Summary
One of the first of its kind in the UK, this MSc Design Research course blends the practices of a designer and a researcher into one coherent pathway.
This new approach to design comes off the back of a shift in the industry, brought about by new disciplines like User Experience (UX) Design, which has led to an increased demand for designers focused on qualitative methods of research in fields such as Service Design, Policy Design, Systems Design, and Design Strategy.
This programme aims to equip you with the tools and knowledge required to:
Become an effective and reflective design research practitioner who can navigate employer and client needs Gain a critical understanding of design and design research as both a career and a practice Engage and reflect on different aspects of design research and how it can contribute to a more fair and just society Effectively apply practical, critical, evaluative, and analytical human-centred design for diverse populations
