You will learn from the most influential thought leaders, pioneering researchers and creative innovators, exposing you to the latest theories and developments from across your discipline.
The module focuses on developing understanding of foundational concepts from cultural studies, contemporary debates on design and culture, identity, gender and feminist studies relevant to strategic design. Key theoretical concepts of 'identity', 'socialisation' and 'representation' will be introduced through lectures and seminars in order to explore the complex interrelationships between identity, sociocultural contexts and strategic design.
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 aim of this module is to examine media representations of social identities with particular focus on gender, race, class and sexuality and its intersections. Combining key theories from critical theory, cultural studies, film, gender studies and communication studies, the module will explore processes and practices of production and re-production of social identities making emphasis on said productions on media, paying special attention to questions of racism, colonialism and capitalism.
The aim of this module is to enhance student's ability to use design approaches and tools for identifying and implementing human centered innovation opportunities.
The aims of this module are to equip students with an in depth knowledge of the innovation process, its importance to the economy and an understanding of the factors affecting its success.
The aims of this module are to introduce students to key critical debates relating to the economics of media and creative industries and their social, cultural and political implications.
The aim of this module is to critically examine and understand key theories and debates associated with the field of international development. The module aims to deconstruct the epistemological underpinnings informing dominant theories of development and examine how they translate into the practice of international and sustainable development as seen amongst key stakeholders such as UN agencies, national governments, companies, civil society organisations and social movements. This module examines the growing critique of development and explores the diversity of thought reflected in the epistemologies of the South. By further assessing how colonial history, patriarchy and capitalism have influenced discourses and practices of development this module seeks to complexify and nuance our understandings of theories of development and actors of change.
The module aim is to prepare students to understand the key concepts and complexities of designing for user experience. The course focuses on innovation management and the creation of value in use as a means of customer acquisition and retention.
Students will be introduced the foundational concepts of human experience relevant to design innovation, building on interdisciplinary knowledge and principles from sociology, psychology, cognitive science and human-centred design. Theoretical concepts on cognition, perception, aesthetics and interaction will be presented through lectures and seminars to explore the complex interrelationships between usability, usefulness and desirability as experiential dimensions for value creation and decision-making, and understand their role in the development of meaningful innovation and quality user experiences.
Through research, analysis, visualisation students will engage with illustrative case studies to reflect upon how theories and concepts apply in practice, and understand how experience ecosystems function.
The aim of this module is to equip you with knowledge of and competence with creative methods and practical skills for design as a future-making practice. We will develop your design skills to support critically conceptualisation and creative communication future scenarios relevant to contemporary sustainability discourses. The module will introduce you to different theories for thinking about the future including utopian and dystopian thought.
By familiarising you with practical design methods for creating immersive environments based on future narratives, and scenarios we will explore how design can be a strategic means of considering future sustainability issues.
By the end of this module you will have the skills and competences to engage in a range of professional contexts by using your design future-making skills.
The aims of this module are to:
The module introduces issues around media and social movements, by tracing the theoretical evolution of media and social movements, understanding media within broader social movements in historical processes rather than merely focusing on media technologies or impact media. The model seeks to cover topics on control of media systems on different parts of the world, alternative media practices, media ecologies, networks, and social media. Whilst focused on grassroots or community activism, it considers the relationship between media, protest and democracy. The module uses a series of case studies to understand how diverse groups harness media to articulate their political voice.

The aims of this module are to:
The aims of this module are to give the student the opportunity to study a subject, business problem 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.
You can expect to complete essays and reports of varying lengths, as well as presentations, proposals and pitches in some cases.
Alongside our regular teaching schedule you will also have the opportunity to take part in guest lectures and seminars on a range of topics.
