Our MA in Design focuses on educational strategies that improve your understanding of design and its relationships with companies and the professional industry. Our course is exclusively online and focuses on three main fields of practice: communication design, interactive design and product design.
What you’ll learn
LSDM’s students will adopt a reflexive, analytical and evaluative approach to design, achieving a greater understanding of the dynamic relationships between design, the industry and the commercial sector. Our study plan absorbs reality, providing advanced, specialised, artistic, academic and entrepreneurial knowledge, which will allow students to pursue an established career in the future.
Candidates can apply for a Master’s Degree in Design through the following pathways:

Students with special needs
Students with special needs are welcome to apply. A meeting will be arranged with the Student Support Office to discuss what support arrangements LSDM can provide.
