You will be provided with a balance of theoretical underpinnings and hands-on practical experience that empowers you to solve wicked problems via the uniqueness of our programme. Each student will spend 2 semesters in part-time residency working on actual projects delegated by corporate staff from one of our collaborative partners. In doing so you will have the opportunity to work directly with members of that organisation&#8217;s design team and various stakeholders that may be involved in the particular project.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more <a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/did\/mdes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> on the MDes programme.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tPostgraduate Programmes by Research: MA + PhD\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>The Master&#8217;s of Arts (Industrial Design) and Doctor of Philosophy (Industrial Design) are full-time graduate programmes by research that serve to advance the study of design. Postgraduate research at NUS Division of Industrial Design embraces various areas of design research, across Creative Interaction Design, Design for Healthcare, Service Design, Design Management, and Value-Sensitive Design. <\/p>\n<p>Students are assured to be immersed in their thesis\/dissertation projects under the guidance of supervisors who are scholars and domain experts. They employ various modes of design research such as research-through-design that uses the design process and artifacts for intellectual inquiry and research-into-design that studies design as a phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iPZ56vIUKTw&amp;t=199s\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> on the programmes and faculty members as prospective thesis advisors. <\/p>\n<p>Learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/graduate\/graduate-programmes-by-research\/programme-structure-2\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> on the programme structures.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tAdmission\n\t<\/h3>\nMaster&#8217;s of Design in Integrated Design: MDes<br \/>\nA candidate is usually admitted at the beginning of Semester One of the academic year i.e., August.
