Description:
The modern world’s transition from a “society of goods” to a “society of services” gives today’s designers the opportunity to more deeply explore the ethics of design. Post-industrial human beings are discovering the limits of progress and working to establish a sustainable relationship with nature and the environment. Clearly, many design projects today add a dimension of socially responsible production.
In the two-year MA in Design-Product Design, students prepare to become professionals by analyzing scenarios and designing or redesigning objects through developing an experiential and physical relationship with them. Thanks to their continuous interaction with lecturers and professionals, students become well-rounded designers, able to direct all stages of product development, including the initial idea, design strategy, materials research, and actual production.
Career Opportunities:
MA in Design-Product Design graduates finds employment in all areas of professional activities and businesses operating in the field of design in its broadest sense, from consumer goods to furniture, from service systems to interactive products. Professional studios and companies employ graduates as:
- Design managers
