Master of Design

A common assumption is that design is about solving problems in organisations and societies. Although this is part of what designers do, we are all increasingly engaged in complex situations for which no simple solution is possible. In these environments, the designer's task is to identify and frame problems and devise and facilitate systems in which problems can be addressed, sometimes incrementally, by multiple stakeholders. The Master of Design provides you with the means to navigate, engage with and design in a variety of professional contexts; for-profit, non-profit and governmental, bringing both theoretical and practical skills to bear on today's most significant problems.

You can build an individualised programme based on your personal and professional interests, and supported by expert mentorship.

The research masters gives you an exciting opportunity to contribute to the knowledge in your field by completing a substantial research thesis project.
