Material futures is where science, technology and design collide. We invite practitioners from all fields of the creative industries to create alternative narratives to what will become the defining issues of our times. United in our belief that our planet is at breaking point and our current methods of managing and dealing with these systems are ineffective and outdated, we encourage our students to look beyond existing disciplines to anticipate our future needs, desires and challenges for the 21st century.
We are interested in hearing from candidates who feel that they can contribute to the wider mission of the course, working with our students to develop trans-disciplinary responses to wider societal challenges. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the course, we are interested in candidates from any background or discipline providing they can evidence a commitment to trying to change the status quo.
