Master of Design
University of Waikato · Hamilton, New Zealand
The Master of Design (MDes) is an advanced degree focusing on design theory, technology and original research. It builds on the unique combination of design skills developed during the Bachelor of Design (BDes).
Entry to a taught master's or postgraduate programme normally requires a recognised bachelor's degree in a relevant subject, typically with a B-minus to B-plus grade average. Some schools require a bachelor's degree with honours to demonstrate research capability, and admission is assessed relative to the NZ grading standard. International applicants must also satisfy the University's English-language requirements.
