IDE is about transformation. Transformation of the practices that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Transformation of the understanding of how the past, present and future can identify opportunities to create lasting impact. Transformation of you as an individual into a creative leader.
Run jointly with Imperial College London for 40 years, this unique double Master’s programme in Innovative Design Engineering (IDE) will help you integrate design and engineering with science and enterprise. Past RCA IDE students have looked at everything from medical devices that manage health conditions to systems for protecting the environment against pollution.
The programme accepts a wide range of applicants – we want diversity of expertise, culture and experience and we welcome applicants from fields such as business, social science, and the arts in addition to engineering, science and design. Candidates who can demonstrate outstanding potential to develop creative, technical and innovation qualities.
Generally, we are looking for pioneering applicants to demonstrate their:
creativity, imagination and innovation;
ability to clearly display and articulate the intentions of your work;
intellectual engagement in areas relevant to the work and subjects that matter to you;
technical skills appropriate to IDE and rigour in your approach;
potential to direct and navigate their learning journey within the structure of the programme, and achieve MA and MSc standards overall.
IDE is a double Master's programme run jointly between the RCA and Imperial College London, and consequently, applicants need to meet the requirements of both institutions. Candidates for IDE are normally required to have at least a UK honours degree at 2:1 level (or the equivalent) in any subject relevant to innovation. It is desirable for candidates to have some relevant work experience.
In exceptional circumstances applicants without the required degree qualification will be considered, for example, excellent professional experience or outstanding creative or technical abilities. Special cases for admissions require unanimous approval from the IDE Entrance Examination Board, then approval by the RCA’s Academic Board for Concessions and Discipline (ABCD) and Imperial’s Programme’s Committee.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
Specialising in teaching and research, the RCA offers Graduate Diploma, MA, MRes, MFA, MDes, MArch, MEd, MPhil and PhD qualifications across the disciplines of fine art, architecture, applied art, design, communications and humanities. There are over 2,800 masters and doctoral students from 90 countries and more than 1,000 professionals interacting with them – including scholars, leading art and design practitioners, along with specialists, advisors and distinguished visitors. The RCA is the most concentrated community of artists, designers and communicators to be found anywhere; a community focused on art in a design environment and design in an art environment. At the College’s heart is a firm belief in project-based education, face-to-face teaching and learning and professional orientation. We aim to bring talented students of great variety and complexity together - whatever their background. www.rca.ac.uk
