Overview

About the education

Halmstad University is an innovative environment for education and research and the Digital Service Innovation program at Halmstad University is an academic master's education. This means, among other things, that you study scientific articles, pen a research proposal and carry out a master’s thesis study. Our methods and tools are grounded in informatics, design theory, service innovation and practice. The programme includes themes like innovative design thinking, sustainable digital service innovation and societal resilience and much of the work is done in the design studio.

In the design studio you blend theory and practice, and advance your competence by working on design assignments from companies, public sector or research and development projects. The studio is a modern and creative learning environment. It is a Stanford-inspired pedagogical approach, and a physical space for creative problem solvers, innovators and curious learners. In the design studio, students work in groups as well as on their own, spending full workings day on design work.

During the education, you and your fellow students are academic peers. This gives you the opportunity to review and evaluate other students' design proposals, project work, etc. Think of it as an arena for exchanging experiences, for learning from each other and the professors, for personal development, and for advancing your competence in digital service innovation.
