COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Design and Artificial Intelligence offers a comprehensive program that equips students with the skills to integrate AI into innovative design practices. In the first semester, students develop foundational knowledge in design innovation, programming, and the principles of artificial intelligence and data analytics, alongside exploring grand challenges that contextualise the impact of AI on society. These modules provide a strong base in both technical and creative thinking, enabling students to understand how AI can be applied to solve real-world problems in design. The second semester builds on this foundation with modules focused on design research, creating meaningful experiences, and collaborative projects that simulate professional practice, encouraging teamwork and interdisciplinary problem-solving. Students also explore the societal implications of AI through dedicated modules, reflecting on ethical, cultural, and human-centered considerations in technological innovation. The program culminates in a dissertation, allowing students to undertake an in-depth, independent research or design project that demonstrates their ability to apply AI creatively and responsibly in design contexts. By combining technical proficiency, design thinking, and critical reflection, graduates are prepared to contribute to cutting-edge innovation in the design industry, leveraging AI to create solutions that are both technologically advanced and socially aware, ready to meet the demands of contemporary creative and professional environments.
