MA Design Professional Practice @ Northumbria
MA Design Professional Practice is an ideal course for experienced designers or
design educators who want to develop their skills, knowledge and specialist
experience while still in employment. This is an extremely flexible option
which allows individuals to tailor the course to suit their needs. So, students
can use 'live' projects or issues within their workplace as a start point for
their MA and use this opportunity to reflect on current work practises with a
view to improving or re-engineering them.Designed to deliver an immediate positive impact on your daily working
practices, this course means you can earn while you learn and at the same time
advance your career prospects. In fact, over 80% of our students receive
a promotion before they have even completed their course.This online course, which can be undertaken full-time over a year or part-time
over two years, consists of six modules that work concurrently to enrich your
understanding and capabilities as a designer. Alongside these core
modules you will develop, research and deliver a design project or portfolio of
projects of your choice. In this way you can tailor your studies to your
individual aspirations and ambitions and your work agenda.
