Postgraduate study
Loughborough Design School offers a broad portfolio of taught postgraduate programmes designed to provide students with applied research, knowledge and professional skills relevant to the student's programme of study.
We offer a first class environment for postgraduate study housed in a new state-of-the-art design facility (from 2011). There are currently over 136 postgraduate students (Masters and Ph.D.) in a close-knit community that facilitates both academic and social interactions.
The school's programmes aim to develop students' critical awareness of major issues in four core themes, design, ergonomics, safety and education. This will enable them to deal with complex and inter-related issues both analytically and creatively, and increase their future value to current and potential employers.
The individual programmes are characterised by the balance and focus on key knowledge, skills and competencies. The flexibility and range of choice in the modules provided enables students to develop their own skills and competencies and to establish a personalised approach to the creative and/or analytical aspects of the four core themes.
