About the course

The Masters of Art Design (MAD) is focused on experimental media arts and prepares students to be design directors, practitioners, visionaries, and leaders in the field who are able to respond to the social, cultural and economic shifts that current times ? and global economies ? demand. Our students become creative thinkers and skilled makers in an inter-disciplinary educational environment, which provides the critical knowledge and expertise to re-imagine new contexts that challenge traditional structures and assumptions guiding art and design practice.

　　We encourage graduate students to apply design thinking and innovative technologies in new directions through research, experimentation, creative production, and entrepreneurship. Graduate students are also expected to create, present and interpret their work with the intellectual expertise and refined skills required to become leaders in their professional field.

　　Students with undergraduate degrees in art and design or related fields who are interested in moving into teaching in higher education, want to pursue a PhD, and/or have a strong desire to become thought leaders in the field of Art, Design and Experimental Media. This track integrates theoretical research within the final project. Students in this track will do a final project and a written document that includes a background to the project, theoretical foundations, references, explanations and preliminary conclusions and next steps.
