Think boldly. Dare to take risks. Our immersive Master of Design is for designers who aspire to create experiences and products that transform our local and global communities. Grounded in critical theory and material experimentation, our programs are actively engaged in the ecology, ethics and politics of design. Our programs are built on critical, practice-based creative research. Throughout your time at Emily Carr, faculty, staff, and peers will contribute to your professional development by mentoring, challenging, and supporting you. Your thesis project— a creative product comprising both of innovation through media and written component— will be fostered in-studio classes and research seminars by skilled and attentive faculty supervisors.
