- The Master of Design (MDes) in Industrial Design is a two-year degree program focused on an independent master's research project that offers students the opportunity to identify and explore a topic of inquiry with the potential to contribute to broader disciplinary knowledge.
- The program is equally concerned with making and thinking.
- Its curriculum seeks a bold reimagining of the role and capacity of industrial design and provides a forum for the critical questioning of design theories and methods.
- Students explore, research, conceptualize, develop, and prototype a product/service/system that breaks new ground within the context of industrial design practice.
- The MDes in Industrial Design engages in four fundamental fields of practice: commercial design, responsible design, experimental design, and discursive design.
- The program culminates in a public exhibition of the master's research paper and project.
