Unique in Australia, the Master of Design responds to the global need for graduates with skills in social and service design and design leadership, who can create and manage high level service experiences and lead social, community and organisational change. This comprehensive and integrated program has been developed in collaboration with industry leaders including the Design Innovation Research Centre situated in the School of Design at UTS.

The Master of Design equips students from a range of professional backgrounds to understand and harness the power of design to shape social, community and organisational futures. Delivered by experienced studio leaders who are acknowledged leaders in their specific industries and professions, the Master of Design prepares students to tackle real-world projects through an intellectually rigorous, research-led and industry-engaged program. Students learn exciting new concepts and collaborative methodologies that deepen their understanding of social systems and people-based interactions, to enhance the ambition and impact of their work.

The Master of Design is enhanced by its association with the work of the Design Innovation Research Centre, the only Social Design agency embedded within an Australian University, enabling students to test and extend their skills in a practice setting. This program is for those seeking to expand their design skills by acquiring expertise in social and service design, or who want to become a design leader who can plan and steer change.
