Do you want to create what the world really needs? With the Master in
Social Design you can become a designer for eco-social change and learn
to develop innovative design ideas for the social challenges of our
time.
The Master's degree in Social Design & Sustainable Innovation
challenges the current system and thinks design from the perspective of
the social and planetary state of emergency. The goal: the education of a
new, radical, revolutionary generation of designers.
You will work with practices such as artistic research, cooperation,
co-creation and other methods of qualitative research. The overall goals
are fairness, transparency and sustainability.
Social design, social campaigning, corporate design in a social context,
socially engaged art, digital innovation, social design theory and
design practice in the context of visual communication, editorial
design, photography, film and web development and design thinking form
the cornerstones of the programme. Within these key themes, you will
work with collaborative partners from the (creative) industries and
other organisations on social innovations, campaigns and design
solutions for a sustainable future. In projects with real-world
partners, you will design effective solutions and concrete visions for a
better world.
Social Design & Sustainable Innovation can mean a
significant difference in cultural and business organisation, leading to
more real and digital innovation. The professional skills are derived
from mastering the respective design disciplines paired with
methodologies of social change that are combined.
Graduates open up traditional and new design professions with an
extended and scientifically sound design, thinking and action approach.
They work as art directors, designers, consultants, project managers,
web developers, change managers, curators for companies and
institutions. The Master of Arts degree prepares students for a doctoral
or PhD degree programme, which opens the way in particular to academic
careers in teaching and research.
