- Description/content
- The Master's degree programme in Social Design and Sustainable Innovation is about shaping the real and digital world with the aim of participating in eco-social change for the good. The cornerstones of the programme are social design, socially engaged art, sustainable fashion, digital innovation, critical theory and design practice. Within these key disciplines, students work on social innovations and interventions for a sustainable future. They choose between the following design specialisations: communication design, film, photography or web development.
Students use their individual academic background as well as knowledge and experience from other fields such as entrepreneurship and civic engagement, technology and crafts as resources for new ideas and debates on social and technological change.
In their projects with real-world partners, students design effective solutions and concrete visions for a better world. They work with practices like artistic research, cooperation, co-creation and other methods of qualitative research. The overriding goals are fairness, transparency and sustainability.
