Overview

The Design Research, Writing and Criticism program at School of Visual Arts plans to expand this list still further by preparing students for future-facing careers in research, publishing, education, museums, institutes, design practice and entrepreneurship, or for continued studies in a design-related subject. In fact, the program is geared toward providing graduates with a comprehensive set of research tools and methods they can apply to any foreseeable career path.

Features

All successful candidates will be offered a significant scholarship, bringing the tuition cost below market rate. We believe that this, plus the fact that the program runs for just nine months, makes our MA in Design Research, Writing and Criticism a very appealing and viable proposition to mid-career professionals as well as recent graduates who want to deepen their knowledge of design and its consequences.
