MSc Design Management [Dubai Campus]

Heriot-Watt University

Our MSc Design Management postgraduate programme blends practical and theoretical capabilities, showcasing design as a transformative force for business innovation. You’ll master advanced design thinking, UX design, strategic change, sustainable design and management, and research methods. This program will empower you to address today's significant global challenges-like decarbonisation, poverty, and net-zero emissions-by working towards solutions not only in traditional creative fields like architecture, fashion, branding, and product design but also in emerging design markets such as finance, health, hospitality, and medical care. Designed to meet the rising demand for creative management in Middle Eastern businesses, particularly in the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, this programme helps diversify economies beyond oil and gas. Our mission is to inspire a new generation of graduates to encourage imaginative interdisciplinary collaboration. As the first postgraduate teaching programme launched in the MENA region, we're leading the way in fostering innovative, sustainable thinking.
