Master of Design Futures

Many of the social, cultural, political and professional structures that support our communities have remained static and unchallenged for generations.

Our education, healthcare and primary production systems, our workplaces and our products need to keep up. We need design leaders, design strategists and design thinkers to dismantle these structures, and to dissect and solve some of our most complex problems.

Whether it’s rethinking the way remote communities access healthcare, creating a less risk-averse corporate culture or developing a more individualised education system, our world needs more innovative thinkers and communicators; people with the knowledge and skills to design our future.

The Master of Design Futures has been developed to help build the skills required for senior management and leadership roles in design-conscious organisations.

These include traditional design businesses, as well as a growing number of public and private organisations that use human centred design to achieve their long and short-term goals.

Graduate careers include:

• Design Leader
• Director, Human Centred Design
• Design Strategist
• Service Design Lead
• Chief Experience Officer

These careers exist under various job titles in many sectors including:

• Corporate
• Retail
• Banking
• Finance
• Health
• Government
• Not-for-profit
• Cultural organisations
