The opportunity

This exciting new MA is a Dual award in collaboration with Kyoto Institute of Technology, Japan and aims to develop designers of transdisciplinary global practice with the ability to apply and evolve design methods and practices to seemingly unique and complex problems. The programme supports the exploration and practice of new design empathies, and supported and encouraged by the very nature of this International and cross geo-cultural educational experience thus moving beyond and challenging stereotypical western approaches and methodologies.

The programme proposes designers as the essential creative ‘glue’ in diverse multidisciplinary teams through their ability to think critically & act practically, connecting the ostensibly unconnected, recognising the relationship and value of the local & the global, the importance of speculation & practice and thus providing the catalyst for innovation.

A community of students, academics, practitioners and researchers strategically seeking to work innovatively, globally, beyond traditional sectors, beyond our creative borders, to engage with new audiences and industry partners in health, technology, science as well and emerging fields, aiming to demonstrate and explore the substantial contribution design can make in challenging paradigms, speculating on futures, influencing policy, prototyping propositions and subsequently playing a key role in supporting the generation of innovative solutions to some of the key societal issues now and in the future.

As Course Leader MA Global Collaborative Design Practice, you will assume responsibility for the academic leadership and management of the course and you will also take responsibility for the design, future development and delivery of the curriculum.

The role requires that you preside over the day to day management of the Course including all areas of learning, teaching and assessment of students as well as resource allocation whilst observing and implementing the policies and procedures of the University and the College. The successful applicant will play a key role in the recruitment and ongoing development of this new course.

About you

A postgraduate qualification appropriate to the subject area of Global Collaborative Design Practice, experience of course administration, assessment processes and procedures are essential for the role.  To inspire students and staff alike, you must be a leading authority in your field and maintain up-to-date knowledge with the latest developments in the relevant and allied industries and audiences.  You will maintain strong links with design practitioners from a wide range of professions, subjects and disciplines and build strategic collaborative links with a range of International institutions and employers.
