Study Details: MA 2 years full-time
MA Global Collaborative Design Practice aims to train designers to tackle the critical problems of our time, such as climate change, social and racial inequality. You’ll be encouraged to explore these complex issues from both local and global perspectives and consider the role of intersectionality.
This 2-year course brings together 2 cohorts of students: 1 based at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London (UAL) in the UK and the other at Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) in Japan. Each cohort will study in-person at the partnering university for a certain period of their course.
UAL and KIT bring complementary strengths in the arts and in science, technology, and engineering to the course. You’ll explore different methods of interacting, collaborating and making.
You’ll develop creative responses to core themes and questions that underpin the course, such as:
Graduates of MA Global Collaborative Design Practice emerge with dual degrees. UAL offers a Master of Arts and KIT offers a Master of Engineering. The course will give you a unique skillset to underpin your future research and/or practice.
Entry to the course will be determined by the quality of your application, looking primarily at your portfolio of work and personal statement.
APEL - Accreditation of Prior (Experiential) Learning
Applicants aged 22 years or over who do not meet these course entry requirements may still be considered in exceptional cases. The course team will consider each application that demonstrates additional strengths and alternative evidence. This might, for example, be demonstrated by:
Each application will be considered on its own merit, but we cannot guarantee an offer in each case.

Year 1 - Term 1
The 2 cohorts spend 12 weeks in their home base (London/Kyoto) studios as we blend in-person and online interactions.
Year 1 - Term 2
Kyoto students travel to London and spend 16 weeks attending classes onsite at UAL with the London-based cohort. Then all students travel back to Kyoto and spend 16 weeks together attending classes onsite at KIT with the Kyoto-based cohort.
Year 2 - Terms 3 and 4
All students return to hybrid learning from their home base locations to commence their second year of study. When relevant to their work, students can apply to relocate to the partner institution for their major design project. After their major design project, they return to their home institution for the remainder of the term.
