Where this leads

Graduates typically move into product and service design, user experience, design research, and creative direction. Graduates also progress into doctoral research or senior specialist roles.

Career outcomes depend on individual performance, work rights in the country of study, and labour market conditions at the time of graduation. We help students plan realistically rather than assume a specific outcome.
