The aim of Design Research module is to help students to gain a broad understanding of design research history and methodologies and equip them with skills and competencies to undertake research in their chosen topic of enquiry. Underpinned by reflective mindset, this module sets out to support students in four key ways: position design research in relation to historical context, identify the key issues and methodologies appropriate for design research, understand ways to evaluate these resources in relation to theory and self, develop and practice applying design research resources in a pilot study.
The aims of this module are to equip students with the necessary academic insights about and be able to reflect critically on organizations (companies) positioning in their competitive environment and assessing companies' preparedness for facing competition.
This module introduces students to the emerging field of data science and equips them with the fundamental knowledge of using data to gain insights and support decision-making. The module demonstrates and provides hands-on experience with cleaning, integrating, exploring, transforming and summarising data sets. It teaches students to form questions and hypotheses from data; to utilise and apply a variety of statistical methods to effectively analyse data in a way that answers those questions or hypotheses; and to create suitable visualisations to communicate their analyses. By the end of the module students will in analysing and presenting data using R and RStudio.
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the major issues related to users' engagement with digital media.

The Service Design Innovation module aims to provide students with an overview of the theoretical aspects of the role of service design in innovation practice. This is based on and driven by a human-centred design approach within service design innovation development and communication. This involves introducing four main areas of design application related to service experience, service systems, service models, and future scenarios. The main design contribution is covered by exploring the role of design in designing interactions, designing for co-experience, designing for co-creation, proposing new behaviours, enabling collaborative services, fostering organizational change, shaping service systems and generating future scenarios.
This overview includes the designers¿ specific roles and perspectives within design projects, understanding how designers can qualify and position themselves when working within interdisciplinary design teams. The module aims to allow students to gain experience in analysis through service design intervention (through critical review of key service innovation literature) in order to understand the specific roles service design can in play in innovation management processes within organizational context, as well as, social and enterprise processes.
The Service Design Strategy module aims to provide students with professional skills for working in service design innovation teams. It aims to allow students to gain experience in managing complex service innovation processes and working successfully within the area of Service Design Strategy.
The aim of this module is to provide the students with an overview of the cloud technology with a special emphasis on cloud applications and the associated challenges.
The aims of this module are to provide a detailed analysis of the evolution and application of digital technologies to sport.
The aims of this module are to give the student the opportunity to study a subject, or research question in depth and to research the issues surrounding the subject or background to the problem.
The module will equip the student with the relevant skills, knowledge and understanding to embark on their individual research project and they will be guided through the three options available to them to complete their dissertation:
Students will achieve a high level of understanding in the subject area and produce a written thesis or project report which will discuss this research in depth and with rigour.
We assess students through coursework and oral presentations. With coursework, students work independently and in groups to collect and analyse data, synthesise insights, generate strategies, and produce data visualisations. Through oral presentations, students present their analysis and strategies and communicate their decisions to experts. Our MSc Data Driven Design has no exams. Lecturers also offer informal feedback on students’ progress and understanding throughout the lectures to support their learning.
Teaching and learning on the MSc Data Driven Design is conducted using a combination of methods.
