The Graphic Design MA course at Estonian Academy of the Arts requires students to produce graphic design work that reflects their own style and host collaborative exhibitions and workshops.

School: Estonian Academy of the Arts
Course: Graphic Design MA
Location: Tallinn, Estonia
Course dates: September 2025 to June 2027
Application deadline: 3 March 2025

The Graphic Design MA program at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) is intended to develop a student's practice and define their position as a graphic designer.

The programme takes an expanded view of graphic design, seeing it as a form of knowledge production whose role can be understood as a way of "making things public".

The programme provides opportunities for students to work through traditional models of graphic design, including books, websites, posters, typefaces and videos, and also to publish texts, organise exhibitions, host lectures, teach workshops, and create other contexts for exchange during their studies.

The interests and concerns of the student will be placed at the centre of studies through the making of a body of work which considers their relationship to form, content, production, and distribution of information.

While this will identify itself differently for each student, what they will share in common is a form of practice which is self-reflective, process-oriented, collaborative, and one that consistently holds an honest position in response to the fluctuating conditions of work as a graphic designer.

EKA international programme promotion is supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

The Sustainable Design MA course at Kingston University equips students with an in-depth understanding of sustainable design.

School: The Design School, Kingston University
Course: Sustainable Design MA
Location: London, UK
Course dates: September 2024 to September 2025 (one year full-time), September 2024 to September 2026 (two years part-time and two years with professional placement)
Application deadline: 30 August 2024

The Sustainable Design MA welcomes designers wanting to direct their existing practice towards ambitious visions of a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable society.

Our established, multi-disciplinary course will enable you to raise your sustainability literacy, and design meaningful responses to the challenges of unsustainability that move you the most.

Our graduates challenge the design industry to redesign design. As a course, we ask – What's next for design thinking that addresses the climate emergency? What's next for design innovation that imagines more sustainable futures? What's next for design practice that questions what we design, how we design and why we design?

We explore innovative, practical, provocative and speculative ways to help realise sustainable visions. We think through making, testing, questioning and imagining. And we think critically, holistically and sensitively about the global perspectives and diverse agendas of sustainability.

Within our projects, we collaborate with specialist organisations, industry partners and other courses in our design school. Through the course, you’ll engage with research techniques and ethics, user-centred and participatory methods, experimental making, prototyping and user testing. You'll be encouraged to bring your personal interests to projects – to explore aspects of sustainability that resonate with you and to become a citizen designer.

The BA(Hons) Architecture programme at Arts University Bournemouth encourages students to explore their creative vision while acknowledging the social, cultural and physical context of the university's surroundings.

School: Arts University Bournemouth
Course: BA(Hons) Architecture
Location: Bournemouth, UK
Course dates: September 2025 to June 2028
Application deadline: 31 January 2025

At AUB, we understand architecture as being part of a larger creative story involving people, making, culture and the context of places within evolving landscapes. Indeed, architecture is an expression of society and can be read in the way we plan, construct, use, demolish and preserve it.

Whether you are from an arts or technical background, you’ll enjoy making physical models at various scales, critical thinking and drawing, and visualising in analogue and digital realities. The architecture degree will help you contribute to addressing the many essential challenges of our time; social, cultural, environmental and humanistic. Your architectural thinking will manifest creative work in the beautiful and distinctive conditions that our region presents: coastal, countryside and urban.

The complexity to be found in the communities and conurbations along the Dorset Jurassic Coast represents a unique opportunity for testing your most speculative ideas, to explore the immeasurable potential of architecture in a place where it is less likely to be found. Consequently, AUB’s regional study of architecture in the context of an arts university can be applied further afield in local, national and international contexts from the past to the present and the future.

The Master of Urban Studies at the Estonian Academy of Arts is a two-year English-language program that focuses on contemporary urbanism.

The program combines history, theory and practice to rethink prevailing understandings of urbanization, and to contribute to building more equitable urbanisms than the current ones.

The main premise of the program is that the subject of urban studies is irreducible to the city: the global urban arena today, more than ever before, is where struggles over our collective future play out.

This transdisciplinary program builds on insights from critical urban geography, urban planning and architectural history.

Urbanism is seen through the conceptual lenses of socio-spatial dialectics and uneven urban development.

Themes addressed in the program include housing and gentrification, urban nature and ecology, and infrastructure and global networks.

Urban Studies MSc will introduce you to the basics of urban design and planning, as well as to a range of skills such as how to conduct fieldwork, write about urbanism and develop urban strategies.

The art school/architectural department where you will study provide a great environment to combine critical thought and creative imagination.
