MA Designing Education

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    1 year full-time

Masters Degree Description

Explore the relationship between designing and education, through radical pedagogies, design thinking methods, creative processes, and practical applications of design.

  • You'll learn to apply design methods and design thinking to education. If you're a designer you can learn about applying your skills to education, or if you're an educator or from a non-design background you can learn to use design within education.
  • We aim to use design to uncover new opportunities for education, including radical new forms of learning and teaching practices and discourses. We want these to be purposeful and to include diverse international perspectives.
  • You'll be working collaboratively in a small, multidisciplinary group within a practice-based design studio environment, and you'll develop practice-based projects.
  • You'll also get to develop your interests, creativity and curiosity through mentored independent projects and directed study.
  • You'll develop and apply a critical framework or pedagogy for your own practice within the context of education. This could include public engagement, educational participation in commercial or non-commercial organisations, in museums or galleries, within an international context of arts NGOs or charities, or in schools, colleges or universities.
  • Design at Goldsmiths has an international reputation, and studying with us you'll become part of a worldwide international designing education network, and you'll be able to access international research expertise through practice-based research.
