Design, BA (Hons) and MDes

Design, BA (Hons) and MDes is a Masters program taught at University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The University of Cambridge’s Design, BA (Hons) and MDes combines architecture, engineering, and material science in one degree. You study multi-disciplinary design in the built environment, and you also cover the design of physical objects, apps, artificial intelligence and electronics. The course focuses on designing solutions to environmental and social challenges, including topics such as sustainability in design and how engineering can inform design.

The course is structured around core studio projects. Most teaching takes place in the design studio, and design projects are exhibited at the end of each year. Outside studio work, you study related subjects including design history, environmental design, mathematics and programming, structural engineering, and materials sciences. Teaching combines practising engineers, architects and designers with academics focused on sustainability and design, resilience.
