| Description | The Master of Design is a 60-credit program (effective September 2018). At the core of the program are three graduate design studio courses in which the students work select projects. In appropriate circumstances, these projects may be for outside clients.
In addition to the required course work, students undertake a thesis/degree project, which should be a substantial piece of original practice-led research. The Division of Design considers "design research" to be rooted in the practice of design; Thesis Projects should have a theoretical foundation but will be primarily visual and practical, with an emphasis on the application of design thinking. | | |
