The Design Research course aims to train students in the practice of research specific to design. Through a multidisciplinary approach, he addresses and questions the positioning, questions and strategies of design research. This training aims to acquire a culture of scientific research, in particular on criteria of precision and depth of analysis, with an emphasis on research. It allows students to master the investigative tools specific to design and borrowed from the human and social sciences and then to complete the training in the designer's modes of creation, expression, representation and communication. This training is intended to be generalist and covers all fields of design (product design, space design, service design, interaction design, social innovation design, science-design interface, etc.). It revolves around a personal project of the student, inserted in a research team (immersion internship), which may eventually lead to a doctorate. This program is available in French (some courses in English).
