In this special episode, we celebrate the 25-year legacy of the Master of European Design (MEDes) programme — a pioneering collaboration between top design schools across Europe. Hosted by Professor Gordon Hush, we hear from founders, faculty, and alumni about the programme’s origins, its impact on global design education, and the transformational power of studying across cultures.

From Glasgow to Helsinki, Paris to Milan, discover how MEDes has shaped generations of designers, fostered lifelong connections, and remained relevant in an ever-evolving Europe. Featuring voices like Norman McNally, Liz Davis, Philip Heidkamp, and MEDes graduates, this episode offers an inspiring look at the value of international design education — past, present, and future.
