Course Description:

'' In a world faced with the prospect of increased population, diminishing resources, climate change and continued disparity of opportunity, can design make a difference to effect change? MA Sustainable Design seeks to foster in its students, a questioning approach to the type of issues which face the planet in the 21st century and to which design may respond and make a useful and valuable contribution. The programme offers you the opportunity to undertake a systematic and comprehensive major design project, which addresses issues of sustainability, identifying new types of problems and ways of solving them. The course attracts graduates, practicing designers and mid-career professionals from a variety of design and allied disciplines. Whatever your background, our intention is to provide you with a creative and energetic working environment for the exploration, development and cross-fertilisation of design ideas.

Students are encouraged to work with real issues Wide range of subject matter and responses possible Students are free to work across traditional subject disciplines Dedicated studio and facilities The objective of the programme is to foster a reflective approach to the design process, within which you develop a personal design project. Any conclusions you arrive at can be wide ranging and may be in the form of three dimensions, two dimensions, time-based (video/animation), photography or may be in a written form (eg creating policy).

Your final work would be in a form that is most suitable for your project. Your work is supported by regular seminars and one to one tutorials. Regular talks by visiting professionals from a range of design, research and environmental disciplines provide an important opportunity for you to appreciate your work in a wider context and to meet postgraduate students from across the university.

The remaining quarter of the curriculum addresses issues common to all design disciplines including research, communication, methodology and professional practice. These aspects of the programme are discussed at regular weekly seminars, which provide a forum for discussion and debate, shared with students from related design specialisms.
