This MA Design Management at Winchester School of Art will suit a graduate or professional who wants to learn how to understand, manage and oversee the process of design in all aspects of business, providing you with a huge range of career opportunities.

You’ll develop essential workplace skills and put your learning into practice. You’ll take part in mini projects, including auditing the user experience of digital services and looking at brand design for a range of organisations. In a sophisticated group marketing simulation workshop you’ll invent a company, design and sell a product, then use customer and market feedback to review and develop this.

You’ll be taught by a variety of design management specialists who’ll involve you in their research to enhance your learning. They’ll help you develop original ideas to negotiate and co-create with designers, marketers, financiers, lawyers, and clients. External practitioners regularly give lectures and run workshops, where you can see how design management theory applies to real life business scenarios and get a chance to network.
