MDes/PgD/PgC in Global Design

... United Kingdom
... Cardiff Metropolitan University

Course Overview

The MDes Global Design programme enables students to enhance their careers as or to become, established designers leading towards a career, a PhD, or to a Professional Doctorate in either art or design. Cardiff School of Art and Design offers Professional Doctoral programs in both Art and Design.

The MDes Global Design programme is designed to enable students to achieve the attributes of greater flexibility, adaptability, individual responsibility and autonomy as professional designers or researchers.

The course aims to develop individuality, creativity, self-reliance, initiative, and the ability to perform in rapidly changing environments as well as increasing competence with research skills and methods which will make graduates highly employable as academics and/or researchers, or enable them to develop an active and sustained practice as designers.

The MDes Global Design enables graduates, as well as mid-career and professional practitioners from both within and outside the discipline of Global Design to negotiate and examine strategies of design for change.

All students receive tutorials to support employability and life-long learning. Students will be expected to maintain their PDP evidencing continuous visual documentation that integrates opportunities for self-reflection to help them develop as effective and confident learners.

At the conclusion of the programme, a very high percentage of MDes graduates establish or continue their professional practice, enabled by the links they have made with design studios or organisations associated with the visual arts and design. Some elect to continue with their Global Design studies at CSAD by undertaking a PhD.
