The Master of EuropeanDesign (MEDes) is a unique programme created by the Innovation School in partnership with other eminent European institutions. The course sets the school's transdisciplinary approach to product design in an international context, providing an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in different cultures and experience alternative approaches that will inform your future practice. 

You will explore complex social, ethical and environmental issues as subjects for design projects, and will learn how to apply appropriate research methods and analytical skills from the social sciences when developing innovative future-focused solutions.

Through a programme of studio-based learning and live projects, you will acquire a wide range of visualisation, communication and material-making skills that will enable you to bring together user insights, expert knowledge and ethnographic information to drive the design and innovation process. You will also be offered languages teaching as part of the programme’s international outlook.

 The MEDes pathway shares its first two years with the BDes programme, at which point you can choose which of the two directions best suits your academic objectives.MEDes students spend the following two years studying abroad in two differentEuropean schools, before returning to Glasgow for the final year.
