Overview
Based upon their own design goal, students of the Master Design from Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences learn to apply a designerly and in-depth approach to design research.
Key features
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences's course has its own methodology, linked in three learning lines: Design Research, Storytelling and New Practices. The curriculum offers workshops, lectures and coaching sessions in which the changing perspectives within this methodology are continuously discussed.
In four semesters, the students work on increasing independence. In the first semester, they explore their design goal. They find first answers to underlying questions through methods offered by the study programme. In the second semester, they define themselves by choosing and tweaking the methods that suit them best. In the third semester, they become firmly established in their approach and deepen their knowledge to reach their design goal, in order to position themselves in their network with their own methodology and corresponding designs in the fourth semester.
Their own expertise grows over times. While at first they mainly deal with questions in their context and network, in the second half of the study they are increasingly recognized and invited themselves as experts. This is how they position themselves as professionals in their new practice, but also contribute to current developments.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Students integrate methods and tools provided by the Master Design into the development of their personal methodology. Throughout their design research, they formulate their questions and approaches more specifically, thus building a strategy for doing design research. Iterations feature well designed materials, supporting scenarios and specific participants, leading to relevant knowledge, choices and designs.
