Design Management Lancaster University

Overview

This Design Management  course from Lancaster University  helps you assess the far-reaching impact when design methods are strategically deployed to address key issues of today and for the future. You’ll focus on much more than design, with topics such as delivery to market, the supply chain and sustainability being key aspects of this course.

You’ll consider big issues. For example, how can design be used to help a city reach net zero? How can data privacy rules be applied when working with the Internet of Things? How can we give people better access to health services?

The students and staff join us from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, different countries around the world, as well as from businesses in various sectors. This creates an inspiring and creative environment that is rich in innovation. You have the option to take the programme on part-time basis, meaning you can study alongside work or other commitments if you wish.

Career opportunities:

You will graduate with a comprehensive skill set combined with an understanding of forward-faced thinking within design. Whether you have a background in practice-based design or are coming to this master’s directly from an undergraduate degree, you will develop a curious, creative and collaborative mindset.
