At Service Systems Design, you will learn how to plan and organise people, infrastructure, communication, media and components of a service, in order to improve its quality, the interaction between service provider and users and the users' experience. The program balances theoretical and practical content. During the master, you will constantly apply the knowledge on Service Design theories and methodologies to real cases.
Professional hands-on experience is an essential part of our curriculum. Since the first semester, you will be connected to the Danish companies for your semester projects and in the second year will have the opportunity to join one of the vibrant comunities of entrepreneurs and social innovators in Denmark or abroad during an internship and a master thesis.  In addition, other extra-curricular activities like the SDTalks or the participation in international conferences, are great opportunities for you to discover the state-of-the-art scene of Service Design and enlarge your network of pioneers and social innovators. We are proud to see how our alumni are contributing as Service Designers, Design Researchers, UX Designers, System Designers, or consultants, to generate impactful and meaningful changes for companies like Designit, Roche, Bosch, Lego, Volkswagen, IBM and public institutions like the Copenhagen Healthtech Cluster, or Københavns Politi.
