MA Global Collaborative Design Practice aims to train designers to tackle the critical problems of our time, such as climate change, social and racial inequality. You’ll be encouraged to explore these complex issues from both local and global perspectives and consider the role of intersectionality.

This 2-year course brings together 2 cohorts of students: 1 based at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London (UAL) in the UK and the other at Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) in Japan.  Each cohort will study in-person at the partnering university for a certain period of their course.   UAL and KIT bring complementary strengths in the arts and in science, technology, and engineering to the course. You’ll explore different methods of interacting, collaborating and making.

You’ll develop creative responses to core themes and questions that underpin the course, such as:    

  • How can we interpret shared global challenges in distinct locations and address them practically and/or speculatively together?   
  • How can relationality and communication principles, empathy and inventiveness help bridge cultures and enable collaborative process? 
  • How can we develop design prototyping, mapping and visualisation as non-textual languages for sharing and iterating ideas and interventions in global challenges? 
  • How can practice expand its reach beyond the creative industries, in multi-disciplinary, cross-sectoral responses to societal challenges?
Graduates of MA Global Collaborative Design Practice emerge with dual degrees. UAL offers a Master of Arts and KIT offers a Master of Engineering. The course will give you a unique skillset to underpin your future research and/or practice.
