Our undergraduate program offers a well-rounded and advanced course of study with a focus on human-centred design, critical thinking, design innovation and entrepreneurship.

As one of the largest ID programs in the US, we offer four studio themes specializing in product development and innovation, health and well-being, interactive product design and the emerging user experience and UI.

Students in the Product Development and Innovation II studio take on the challenge of identifying new markets and applications for bicycles given the boom in electrified drivetrains.

Students apply skills in user research, visual language and branding, advanced materials and process understanding, and trends to address a complex product (in this case, an e-bike).

They work with a combination of analogue and digital tools, prototyping in VR, tangible augmented reality (TAR) and physical media to develop novel and detailed bicycle designs.

The N-Force e-bike shown is designed for campus police officers. Students performed observation and deep-dive sessions with campus officers cataloguing their daily patrol routines, thereby combining the efficiency of a patrol car with the approachability of an officer on a bicycle.

The MArch Architecture degree at Iceland University of the Arts trains students to be socially-aware designers, exploring collaborative methods of creating architecture.

School: Iceland University of the Arts
Course: MArch Architecture
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
Course dates: August 2024 to June 2026
Application deadline: 8 March 2024

We know one thing – what got us here will not get us there. The challenges of our time call for new radical, responsive, and revolutionary types of education.

The two-year master's in architecture MArch at the Iceland University of the Arts is devoted to the exploration of the meaning and scope of architecture and architects' multiple societal agencies.

Together, students and teachers explore the collective and collaborative nature of "architectures" – rather than singular architecture.

Architectures are intended as critical processes of enquiry, vehicles for raising social awareness, tools for imagining and advancing agendas of social justice, and as collaborative projects aimed at living together harmoniously.

The goal of the MArch is twofold. Firstly, to support students in developing knowledge, skills, traits, attitudes and behaviours necessary for becoming critical and caring societal agents who are able to relate to each other as diverse and equal beings.

Secondly, to build a strong community of teachers and students in architecture who explore together the wondrous possibilities that the field of architectural research can generate.

We use Iceland and its unique context as our laboratory for design exploration without forgetting that each place is deeply interconnected with the world.

Distilled from tried-and-true NYSID courses that have trained designers for decades, these courses build on what we already know, drawing out the innate sensitivity of the human eye and familiar vocabulary so students can understand more clearly how to utilize the ideas that make color such a powerful tool in interior design.

Because they cover different facets of the topic, the workshops can be taken alone or in combination.

Each workshop has been created to help both professionals and non-professionals work more effectively with color.

Registration for the three-series workshops is at a discounted rate and offers students a certificate from the New York School of Interior Design.

Welcome to our MA in Interior Architecture, where the combination of architecture and interior design expertise helps you craft spaces that resonate with purpose and innovation.

This program centres on shaping inspiring environments across diverse scales, empowering students with mastery over dimensions, human scale, social dynamics and ergonomics

Drawing from over two decades of pioneering research and academic excellence, our MA expands horizons in the dynamic field of interior architecture. It serves as a transformative bridge, connecting architecture, interior design and social sciences.

Aligned with contemporary societal shifts, the emphasis is on the subjective experience within built environments, with a focus on experiential design inclusive of sociological, psychological and anthropological considerations.

Addressing the demands of modern lifestyles, inclusive design needs and multidisciplinary academic trends, we equip graduates with a profound understanding of human responses in built environments.

Our curriculum dives deep into crafting interiors that enrich human activities exploring sustainably the 'spatial art' of environmental design.

From the (re)purposing of structures to (re)defining spaces in both large public edifices and intimate domestic settings, students will develop comprehensive design methodologies to achieve meaningful affordances for the end-users of built environments.

Join us to be part of an interdisciplinary journey that bridges the gap between material and experiential aspects of architecture, nurturing graduates with purposeful skills to shape the future of design methodologies in interior architecture.

The Master of Industrial Design course at Zurich University of the Arts encourages students to think about how design can make technology more relevant to society.

School: Zurich University of the Arts
Course: Master Industrial Design
Location: Zurich, Switzerland
Course dates: September 2024 to June 2026
Application deadline: 19 February 2024

Driven by curiosity-based and practice-led exploration, the MA Industrial Design is a platform for imagining how design can make technology more relevant to our lives.

Through prototyping and debating tangible expressions of things to come, the course enables designers to play a meaningful role in shaping technological futures.

Designers are often taught to frame every issue, no matter how complex, as a problem to be solved. In the Industrial Design Master, we believe that designing for complex realities requires more inclusive approaches geared towards transdisciplinary exchange and collaborations.

The newly established programme builds upon a hybrid understanding of design in which its tangible and expressive potential aligns with imaginative and critical perspectives.

By expanding the concept of industrial design, the course brings together prototypes with thought experiments and innovations with speculations in exploring potential technological applications and their implications.

Against a backdrop of rapidly shifting ecological, societal and technical relations, students are empowered to go beyond convenience-driven and user-centred design to envision and enable opportunities for more meaningful forms of interaction.
