Overview
The MA Global Collaborative Design Practice at the University of the Arts London (UAL) uses project-based methods and contexts to interpret global United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) from different local standpoints.
The UN SDGs are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
The course is co-designed and co-hosted by Camberwell College of Arts in London, UK and Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) in Kyoto, Japan. Students interact between the 2 cities throughout the programme and receive 2 Master's Degrees upon graduation. Applicants are welcome from all design disciplines and from fields and roles that overlap with design.
The design process is used as a common language to bring together, test, communicate and implement ideas. By working in cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams the course helps you develop the sensibility and tools for international design practice.
What to expect
The 2 cohorts, one based in London and the other in Kyoto, share a programme of study. You will interact in person and remotely as one group. This extended studio and community spans disciplines, distance and cultures to develop creative responses to 4 core themes and questions underpinning the course.
