MA Multidisciplinary Design
The MA Multidisciplinary Design responds to continuing changes in contemporary design practice and challenges the perceived boundaries between the many and varied recognised art and design disciplines.
The programme seeks to establish an environment where creative, self-motivated practitioners from a diverse array of design backgrounds, with different methodologies, can experience a cross-fertilisation of ideas and approaches to the design process.
The strength of the course lies in the debate that is generated between the variety of practitioners the course is aimed at. Drawing together interactive designers, textile designers, product designers, visual communication designers, applied artists and interior designers the course creates a broad based knowledge bank from which to draw upon.
This rich source material supports and develops the specialist practitioner and provides opportunities for generating a potentially new and exciting hybrid practice of collaborative projects.
Within the programme there is a strong entrepreneurial strand, built upon tried and tested models developed in conjunction with NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) in recognition of the essential skills necessary for a successful, sustainable practice within the rapidly growing creative industries.
