Master Industrial DesignRoyal Academy of Art, The Hague

At the MID we are fostering disruptive approaches, researching alternative models for production and business, exploring new and existing materials and manufacturing techniques. Therefore, research plays a crucial role at the MID. Design research dealing with material culture: the connection of humans to material objects and the role these objects and their manufacturing play socially, culturally, economically and ecologically. You will develop a vision, skills and gain knowledge and learn to apply these directly to design practice. The programme delivers students who can take on strategic roles, initiate new design approaches and to thrive in multidisciplinary teams. Gradu-ates may start their own influential design studio, work in design consultancies and manu- facturing industries worldwide or go on to become design managers in global companies.

Projects / Skills

The programme unites the technical aspects of Industrial Design with its cultural meaning, societal significance and global impact. The fo-cus of the programme is on translating a strong personal vision in applied design. Using artistic research, cultural consciousness and technical innovation in the industry as a basis to work from the programme educates designers to become professionals who critically question, investigate and shape the industrial field with their designs. Their design products are the ac-cumulation of design research, personal vision and artistic quality.

During the two-year programme you will be working on design products and projects with social relevance in collaboration with partners and industries inside and outside the academy. You will become part of the extensive network of teachers and experts with thriving profession-al practices. The ability to create is challenged and sharpened to apply personal design skills to specific needs and criteria that come from working within a complex industrial and societal context. The design can be anything: it can be a mass-produced consumer product or a single unique object. It can be a digital application, a system or even a brand or material. Alongside the design projects you will follow skills classes in communication, theory and design research.
