Arctic Art and Design | Master of Arts (Art and Design)

The Arctic Art and Design master’s programme has been developed to respond to the changing role of the creative professional in society. The programme is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Centre of Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. The content is designed to harness the potential of service design and applied visual arts in social, community or business contexts. Service design and applied visual arts are used by our students to work with clients and community groups to identify problems and create solutions – It’s creative collaboration.
