Master your creative journey

The Master's programme in Communication Design at UE merges theory and practice in order to strengthen knowledge and skill set, as well as hone the ability to develop relevant solutions and an advanced design process. The programme promotes creative design skills, knowledge of the theories and history of art & design, the ability to critically analyse contemporary phenomena, and the practical understanding of both analogue and digital media implementation.
The degree programme combines the fields of art and design with culture and the humanities. Social, economic, political, and institutional issues are addressed and reflected upon using a wide range of academic discourses that support and enhance the design process. This enables graduates to actively participate in the development and shaping of globally interconnected cultures, manifesting the importance of the designer’s role in the global community.

Our Master’s programme is the ideal next step for students who have completed a BA programme in Art & Design and wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge, opening up new perspectives. The degree prepares students for careers in both traditional professional roles within art & design, as well as emerging fields for communication designers in the 21st century. It is also suitable for students with backgrounds in business, humanities, cultural studies, media studies, and Science and Technology Studies (STS).

In the Communication Design master’s programme we place particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. These disciplines range from the design of speculative scenarios to the promotional use of drone displays, from storytelling to theory building, from the initiation of design processes to their successful realisation in institutional and economic contexts. The aim is to train creative personalities who can build communicative processes in political, economic, scientific and social contexts on a local or global level.
