Master of Arts in Design
The Lucerne School of Art and Design is offering a research-oriented master degree programme in Design. The master degree programme focuses on complex design projects and their reflection. The students deepen and intensify the knowledge, skills and competencies they gained in their bachelor studies.
The students can choose between two study profiles: The one links Animation and Illustration (Major Animage), the other links Product Design with Design Management (Major Product Design & Management).
Designers with a Master of Arts in Design have broad theoretical and methodological knowledge, in-depth design skills and a wide experience of working in practice. They can develop and market products and services in a targeted fashion. They therefore take on leading roles in value-adding processes with companies, institutions or organisers of cultural events.
