For you, design is not just about aesthetics. It has the potential to
change the world for the better. You have a BA degree in creative
disciplines and want to help create the future. Welcome to our Master's programme Strategic Design .
You develop your strategic thinking skills at the interface between
innovation management, brand strategy and the management of creative
processes. You will not only learn to understand social and
technological innovation, but also to think about it holistically and
shape it for the future.
To this end you will immerse yourself in
methods and theories of corporate and brand management, design
thinking, social design, transformation design, system thinking and
critical thinking.
You learn user-centred research, focused synthesis and systematic idea
development. You will deal with creativity techniques, business models,
sustainability and intercultural communication.
Soft skills such as
presentation skills and the development of your personal leadership
style are specifically promoted through specially designed teaching
units. The teaching of methods of scientific work creates the basis for
writing a Master's thesis in the fourth semester of the programme.
More than ever before, companies, institutions and startups alike are
realising that brand management and shaping a strategic brand identity
are key to gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage. The demand
for specialists in design and brand management, as well as, creative
direction is accordingly high. Service design and experience design are
also popular occupations for strategic designers and alumni of our
programme.
Another professional field constantly growing in popularity for
strategic designers is innovation management. Driving innovation in
enterprises, institutions and startups is increasingly being led and
moderated by strategically-trained designers, as they can connect
creative and strategic processes. Strategic designers can be found in
many strategy departments of large companies.
