Housed within the School of Art, Architecture and Design, the Furniture Design MA is a research-led, practice-based programme designed for graduates from furniture and related disciplines, as well as those seeking to collaborate with industry professionals. The course operates on the understanding that contemporary design is a critical driver for social and environmental change, requiring practitioners who can navigate complex, ambiguous problems with both radical thinking and rigorous research.

Students are encouraged to move beyond traditional roles, exploring how design can communicate meaning, engage emotions, and provide innovative solutions to emerging global needs. By integrating experimentation with professional project work, you will develop the capacity to design furniture systems that are not only aesthetically desirable in the marketplace but also intellectually and socially relevant. The programme fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment where you will rehearse design development processes through live briefs and evidence-based investigation, preparing you to contribute to the thriving UK furnishings sector, which remains one of the top growth industries in the country.
