About the course

Sustainability is a fundamental part of the design industry. Our Sustainable Design MA is at the forefront of this discipline, specialising in research-led learning, criticality and innovation in design practice, theory and culture.

　　As a student on our established postgraduate degree you will learn to utilise design research in order to examine sustainable development challenges and pursue original ideas for more equitable and just futures. You will have opportunities to expand critical conversations about how design informs and interrelates with the complex and challenging issues of sustainability and design culture.

　　‘Sustainable Design’, or ‘Design for Sustainability’ (DfS), has evolved considerably over the last 40 years. You will learn with researchers, academics and industry experts who critically confront sustainability issues in, through and for design. Thematics within the course evolve continually in line with the discipline and will include, for example, gender equality and space, design justice, pluriversality, regenerative design, decolonising design, and confronting legacies of oppression in design theory, practice, and education.
