Join our transformative design journey
The Master Digital Design believes it’s critical to reshape and revise design education from a sustainability perspective in order to mitigate the current climate and human crises.
If you want to be part of this journey of transformation, then join us as a partner.
A little bit about us…
The Master Digital Design is a one year full-time transformative programme with two specialization tracks: Interaction Design and Digital Fashion Technology. It is offered by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.
Every year, we welcome a limited number of international designers from around the world to come to our studios and challenge design conventions and principles in order to contribute to a more sustainable world.
Our way of working
The two tracks of the Master Digital Design operate individually, catering to the interests and needs of their students and specific industries.
Both tracks work on projects hailing from the industry, societal organisations, and research groups. The briefs received range from purely research, speculative, or more commercially oriented.
We welcome partners who would like to contribute to a more sustainable way of practicing the design craft and help educate the design leaders of tomorrow.
Our Partners Programme
Our partners are companies, organisations, and studios that wish to help reshape the design education of the future to contribute to a better world.
We welcome two types of partnerships:
. Project Partners – you contribute with a brief that fits one of our Playgrounds;
. Coaching Agencies – you work closely with the students, coaching them and advising them regularly as they work through their briefs. You will also provide at least one masterclass and review their portfolios at the end of the year.
