The Master of Design (M.Des) in Design Innovation programme provides an academic framework for postgraduate students to engage with the craft of user-led and co-created innovation in design practice across a variety of fields and in widely differentiated social, economic, technological and industrial contexts. The programme responds to the changed context within which design practice occurs in the 21st century, a context within which the discipline-based skills of the product designer, ceramist, visual communicator or textile designer must sit alongside the working practices and expertise of a professionally-diverse and often globally-dispersed workforce. The programme seeks to develop design practitioners, graduates and professionals who are capable of operating in contemporary collaborative working environments, utilising the skills and knowledge of others and responding in a reflective and sympathetic manner to the demands, constraints and opportunities afforded by the context within which design practice occurs. Candidates on the Design Innovation programmes (suite of named awards) will become trans-disciplinary practitioners who can respond to both the demands of local communities and those of multi-national corporations, to technology driven change and the socio-economic aspirations of diverse stakeholders, as they seek to innovate the artefacts, services and experiences that constitute the experience of modern life.
