Programme
How can entrepreneurs, health professionals and governments work together to design interventions that promote healthy lifestyles? What does a future look like in which technologies like AI and robotics are applied to create a more sustainable food system, and how can we communicate such future visions to empower organisations to take action? How can we design strategies and business models that help organisations to create societal impact while ensuring their financial sustainability?
In the Master of Strategic Product Design (SPD), design meets innovation strategy to shape a just and sustainable future. By merging design and management disciplines, our programme equips you with the skills to design innovative interventions and accompanying strategies that enable organisations and their networks to thrive in a world of increasing technological opportunities and growing concerns about the planet and society.
