Master of Arts in Design

HKU University of the Arts Utrecht

Design is the perfect example of a discipline in which art is applied in daily practice. In the Bachelor’s courses, therefore, there is a strong emphasis on the various technical aspects and skills of the profession. Research, reflection and development are less prominent. These three areas are precisely where the focus of the Master of Arts in Design course lies. How does an editorial concept fit into a design process? What is the role of fashion in our present visual culture? In what way do interior architects play a pivotal role in projects? How does an integral design of public space contribute to the experience of urban space? The Master of Arts in Design looks at these questions about the ‘why’ of design. Answers to these questions are sought through reflective projects and research.
