Curriculum

Core modules focus on MA specific subject matter, methods, and collaboration competencies. It includes the following three areas:

  • Service Design Basics 
  • Sustainable Organizations & Society
  • Service Design & Policy

Service Design Basics present students with the fundamentals of Service Design, its principles and approaches, its history and the professionals who made contributions to its research and practice. Students become familiar with all aspects of design research and gain insights into relevant design practices, including user experience (UX), human-centered design (HCD), and customer experience design. The focus rests on identifying design problems and generating valuable insights by exploring them through a range of appropriate methods and user research. 

Sustainable Organizations & Society focuses on positive human experiences and interactions while addressing social, organizational, technical, economic, and environmental concerns. This section teaches students about the social function of service quality and the business models that support sustainable organization. Students develop and apply multi-perspective value propositions and explore scaling at micro, mezzo and macro levels.

Service Design & Policy focuses on leading strategic conversations as a core competency for Service Designers. Engaging people in a meaningful conversation is a precondition for initiating, planning, and negotiating a service design process in multi-stakeholder contexts. Service Designers can describe and communicate design problems in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations. Students learn to devise playful and creative ways to draw diverse people into the design process, encourage participation, co-design and co-creation, and lead and steer a design project.
