Masters Degree Description

Explore design futures to address challenges across scales

  • Benefit from our flexible programme structure, working with subject experts from different backgrounds
  • Immerse yourself in core units about design research, complex systems and envisioning futures before developing your independent research project
  • Enjoy a wide range of electives in subjects such as design resilience, design ethics and design innovation alongside electives from across the College
  • Develop professional and entrepreneurial skills to prepare you for real-world opportunities

Engage individuals in debate, develop alternative strategies and change minds and behaviours as a design futures practitioner. Working individually and with peers, we’ll encourage you to explore how design futures can address complex social and environmental challenges.

On the RCA Design Futures MDes, you’ll develop a transdisciplinary approach to your design practice and strengthen your research methodology so you can refine your thinking. You might come to this programme with an established design practice that you want to push further; or from outside traditional design fields, but with a desire to integrate design tools into your work.
