Why did you choose the MSD program?

The MSD program can help me systemize my past design knowledge and give me some new experience. And the courses of the MSD program are so multiple that students have chance to study contemporary design issues, and explore the solutions from some designers and methods.


What is the best aspect of the MSD program?

On one hand, as a MSD student I have chance to refine my knowledge system of design with the passionate professors and classmates who have multiple professional background, such as architecture design, sustainability, engineering, interaction design, interior design and so on; on the other hand, the MSD program expands the freedom to its students to explore innovative ideas that refer to various social issues and human life and help students to build their responsibility to the social and natural well-being.
