Located in the beautiful maritime London heritage site of Greenwich, the MA Design for Cultural Industries is an innovative programme for students who want to develop their career in cultural and creative sectors. The programme trains creative professionals to become hands-on and innovative creative leaders with advanced design skills for application in the cultural industries. Incorporating new technologies into the discourse, through the application of design theory and practice, students will be able to create or initiate solutions and experiences in the context of the cultural industries.

Integrating materiality and object interpretation through applied imagination, developing innovative creative-thinking, enterprise skills and research-led projects, the programme’s multidisciplinary and critical approach is aimed at giving students a distinctive insight into the collaborative nature of these industries. Drawing upon the excellent creative practice and research expertise of CPDA staff, this MA provides its graduates with the advanced skills necessary to confront their professional challenges and move forward in this highly competitive industry.

This MA programme is relevant for those wishing to pursue an advanced career in cultural and creative organisations such as private and social enterprises, design agencies, museums, galleries and research centres. The programme will also be applicable to artists, curators, designers and policy-makers wishing to advance their design thinking by bringing their own projects to life, or create outputs for their own clients and industry partners.
