The Masterstudio Design programme is home to the Master Studios in Design. It is a space for experimentation, discourse and production in which students from the various Master's programmes meet and exchange ideas. In dialogue with mentors and external experts, students translate aspects of design research, economics, ecology, technology and culture into future fields of action in design. This opens up new perspectives for their professional careers. Students have the opportunity to further develop their knowledge, interests and skills in an interdisciplinary, inspiring learning environment in a future-oriented and individual way. The study programme in the Master Studios in Design is a full-time programme with a standard duration of three semesters.
