Design Informatics creates a meeting point between data, culture and design. We imagine alternate futures, disrupt thinking and play with data as a material. <br/><br/>Our practice is experimental, speculative and critical, informed through research and industry. We create inquisitive, professional and articulate problem solvers and entrepreneurs as graduates, leading applied data-driven futures with a global reach.<br/><br/>We play with making physical and digital artefacts and experimental data things. We build, test, hack and reinterpret what data means to society, and where design has opportunity to shape future thinking for challenge lead enquiry.<br/><br/>Design Informatics sits within the Institute of Design Informatics and is informed by research practice and industry partnerships across Edinburgh College of Art and School of Informatics.<br/><br/>Offered as a joint programme between Edinburgh College of Art and School of Informatics, our ECA route offers the MA degree, and School of Informatics offers the MSc degree. Students will work together and complete the same courses during their degrees, with a few areas of difference including the final dissertation timetable. Both schools have different application requirements.<br/><br/>Read more about the Design Informatics Masters on the programme website.
