Program Overview

The MA/ MSc Global Innovation Design (GID) programme is double Master’s Programme that is run jointly with Imperial College London. The programme offers an international style of learning and a unique and cultural context. Our vision is to provide you with an experience that is unparalleled in the world, nurturing you to be a design leader and creative catalyst who delivers positive social, environmental, economic and cultural change.

We revolve around leading international centres of innovation which collectively offer students a unique educational mix characterised by multidisciplinary intakes, shared values, complementary approaches and distinct expertise. We foster innovation that provides practical solutions to real-world issues, and our project themes in each location reflect local design culture, commercial interests and social challenges.

Course Content
The MA/ MSc Global Innovation Design programme consists of six terms of study across two years. Students spend four terms in London and two terms abroad studying at partner institutions.

Year One

Year one will include a foundation in design theory and methodology, physical computing, innovation, communication and creation of vision, which usually takes place in London. An additional term will be spent in one-term residency with either Keio University in Tokyo or Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Year Two

Year two will include a one-term residency with either Pratt Institute in New York or Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. This is complemented by a further refinement of work, and the completion of the Independent Research Project (IRP). This final piece of work represents the culmination of study and will take place in London.
Entry Requirement
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall.

To apply to Global Innovation Design you’ll normally need to have at least a UK honours degree at 2:1 level (or the equivalent) in any subject relevant to innovation, and it’s desirable to have some relevant work experience. In exceptional circumstances we will consider applicants without this degree qualification (for example, excellent professional experience or outstanding creative or technical abilities).

Portfolio requirements

Your portfolio is a showcase of your work as an artist or designer and can be made up of images, videos or writing examples. Your portfolio helps us to better understand your application and allows you to show evidence of your ability and motivation to undertake a given programme.

Generally, we’re looking for you to demonstrate your:
- Creativity, imagination and innovation
- Ability to articulate the intentions of the work
- Intellectual engagement in areas relevant to the work
- Technical skills appropriate to the work
- Potential to benefit from the programme
