It’s not just leadership roles in design that require dealing with topics that go far beyond mere form development. Good design across a wide range of fields requires deep thinking and a holistic, conceptual approach.
In the Master’s program in Creative Direction, you will explore the new spheres of influence in design. To strengthen your skills as a designer of the future, you will develop a personal methodological foundation, establish your theoretical grounding, and build holistic creative confidence.
The Master of Arts in Creative Direction (MACD) program is designed for graduates of bachelor’s or diploma programs in various design disciplines.
Exploring different theoretical approaches and empathetic methodologies will become part of your toolkit.
This toolkit and the strategic expertise needed to develop sustainable concepts are complemented by the ability to identify emerging markets and societal trends in a targeted manner.
To apply these insights in a leadership role within interdisciplinary teams, you will learn one thing above all else: yourself. Because only those who can lead themselves can lead others.
