Eva Kappel, Head of Education at Design School Kolding, will present our unique 2-year MA Programme.
On the Master's programme, you can advance your skills in one of five subject areas:
- Accessory Design
- Communication Design
- Fashion Design
- Industrial Design
- Textile Design
Along with your subject area, you must choose between 3 thematic focus areas:
- Play and design (Design for Play)
- Social design (Design for People)
- Sustainability and design (Design for Planet)
The focus areas are a unique opportunity to connect your subject area and your learning to topics and industries that you are passionate about and would like to improve your skills in.
The programme focuses on collaboration with the business community and wider society along with individual courses based on specific cases. You will get to work with tools, techniques, concepts and methods in a friendly, international and cross-disciplinary setting and enjoy easy access to workshops.
When applying to the MA programme, you must decide between three thematic focus areas. You can choose between social design (Design for People), sustainability and design (Design for Planet) and play and design (Design for Play). The focus areas are a unique opportunity to connect your subject area and learning to topics and industries that you are passionate about and where you would like to improve your skills.
In this session you will receive an introduction to Design for Play by Karen Feder, who is the head of programme. She will be joined by Play Designer and former student Pedro Cabral.
Design for Play introduces you to play as a motivating factor in design and development processes. Play contributes to the artistic dimension of the design profession – and together with craft skills and user and business understanding, play can be part of the creation of better solutions and meaningful products, services and systems. As a student, you must like to walk new paths and challenge yourself and others through playful experiences. You will be a frontrunner for new ways of designing in a society and labour market that calls for creativity and innovation.

In this session you will receive an introduction to Design for Planet by Ulla Ræbild, who is the head of programme. She will be joined by Rasmus Trøst Simonsen, who is a second-year MA student specialising in Design for Planet x Fashion Design.
Design for the Planet addresses one of today's most important challenges, namely creating a more sustainable world. We deal both directly and indirectly with the UN's 17 global goals, which call on all countries to assume a common responsibility and prepare to produce, consume and act sustainably. As a student, you must want to work with sustainable agendas and have a strong foundation in design, as well as be professionally courageous and curious.

In this session you will receive an introduction to Design for People by Canan Akoglu, who is the head of programme. She will be joined by Ana Gálvez who graduated in Design for People x Industrial Design.
Design for People is based on people's needs and behaviour. You will learn design theory, processes and methods that enable you to develop solutions that address human, social and societal challenges. As a student, you must have a social and societal awareness as well as the desire, will and courage to familiarize yourself with different user types.
In this session you choose between 5 parallel Zoom sessions, which represent our 5 subject areas. Along with experienced students/alumni, our heads of subject will introduce you to the programmes and student life and try to answer any questions you might have.
