Summary
On this established course, designers and creatives use practice-based design research to examine the challenges of sustainable development and present original ideas for more sustainable futures.
You will be learning in Brighton, a progressive city where sustainability and social concerns are high on the agenda. You will be working alongside experts in design, ecology, psychology and business in lively postgraduate studio spaces. We provide a stimulating environment that will encourage you to explore and challenge existing ideas and develop new propositions for sustainable development.
Throughout the course, you will gain knowledge and skills in speculative and critical design, design research and business-focused design innovation. You will leave us with the confidence and aspirations needed to become an effective agent of change – ready to enter a world where sustainable development forms the foundations of good design.
