Summary
The MA Design Products at the RCA explores new terrain for designing products by critically questioning "what is a product?" and evolving new design disciplines and practices. With an ethos that embraces ideas such as circularity, multi-species design, design justice and decolonising design, you experiment across research-based tools and cross domain methods to synthesize context, creativity and technical delivery. You collaborate with industry, startups, governments and global agencies to measure impact against the UN Sustainable Development Goals, while developing a personal portfolio through project-based units, culminating in an independent research project in Term 3.
