Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

The Master's program in Medical Design at Muthesius Kunsthochschule focuses on designing future perspectives with a professional approach. The program understands Medical Design as a design principle beyond the limitations of medical technology, with special interest in sustainable living conditions in the sense of 'One Health' (humans, environment, animals). Students develop an expanded understanding of people and social constellations, and deepen their knowledge in thinking, designing, and communicating innovative processes, systems, and interfaces. The program emphasizes high-quality product development considering circular economy requirements and resource conservation. It has a unique connection with the Master's program in Interface Design, recognizing that products increasingly function as multi-layered, networked information carriers and interaction mediators. The program offers profound access to knowledge and questions of 'Health and Life Sciences' while encouraging students to work on independently defined topics related to future human living environments and social change, with focus areas including environment and sustainability, public and private space, mobility and logistics, future human images, and new technologies.
