MDes Design Futures

Engage individuals in debate, develop alternative strategies and change minds and behaviours as a design futures practitioner. Working individually and with peers, we’ll encourage you to explore how design futures can address complex social and environmental challenges.

On the RCA Design Futures MDes, you’ll develop a transdisciplinary approach to your design practice and strengthen your research methodology so you can refine your thinking. You might come to this programme with an established design practice that you want to push further; or from outside traditional design fields, but with a desire to integrate design tools into your work.

Become involved with projects that open new ways of thinking about design. Start bold conversations about the future. Embrace uncertainty and complexity. You’ll learn how to help people visualise alternatives and to make a positive response towards a more sustainable future.
