Course summary
This Master鈥檚 in Design will build on your skills and knowledge to the point that you can demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of design theory and techniques. Thus prepared, you will be able to conduct research intended for use within a professional context.
The programme provides an opportunity for independent and collaborative work, creating a space for creativity and experimentation.
Through the careful structuring of modules, it provides you with the opportunity to understand complex theoretical and philosophical ideas while building independent academic research.
What you will learn
The master鈥檚 Contemporary Dialogues portfolio at Swansea College of Art offers a unique postgraduate experience.
Graduates and professionals from a wide range of specialities benefit from multidisciplinary learning together with expert lecturers and a broad range of facilities.
You will have the opportunity to draw upon experiences and knowledge from across the different pathways and reflect on this in your own personal study.
The research environment benefits greatly from the input of our teaching staff and visiting lecturers, most of whom are research-active artists, designers, and theoreticians of national and international significance.
In the first part of the programme, you will complete a series of taught modules. You will participate in multidisciplinary exchanges, through seminars and lectures involving students from all programmes within the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, to stimulate new perspectives and challenge directions. The cross-fertilisation of ideas through such dialogues is expected to promote a rethinking of the perceptions and production techniques appropriate to your discipline.
Throughout the taught part of the programme, you will be expected to undertake material investigations and research into contemporary themes, with consideration given to environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues.
