Overview
The comprehensive and integrated Design program of the University of Technology Sydney has been developed in collaboration with industry leaders including the Design Innovation Research Centre situated in the School of Design at UTS.
Course aims
Graduates of this course are leaders in design and related industries through their expertise in social and service design development and transition design. They are able to utilise strategic processes, creative tools and research skills for innovative, ambitious and socially just design solutions.
The program provides entry points for those with an undergraduate degree in design, who study a core in design leadership and a major in either service design or design leadership, or those with an undergraduate degree in another field, who also study design practice fundamentals. Common subjects encompass basic and advanced design research methodologies, design prototyping, inclusive and co design, social innovation, and design translation and communication. Through these subjects, students learn how to apply new design approaches and mind-sets. In the Service Design major, students learn fundamental concepts and methods of service design and apply these in designing and implementing complex end-to-end services. In the Design Leadership major, students learn high level strategic design thinking and transition design. They become expert facilitators and navigators of change processes, exercising social sensitivity and cultural intelligence. Where appropriate, prior learning is recognised.
Careers
Graduates' careers are enhanced by higher-level design knowledge and expertise, with specialised knowledge in social and service design or design leadership.
