M1 Design research
The objective of the Master 1 ‘Research in Design’ programme is to encourage students to question contemporary lifestyles through design projects and research.
In the first year, students are trained ‘by and for research’ through practical learning of the main design tools and concepts, workshops, internships, etc.
This Master's programme enables students to acquire the essential skills to become a design researcher: collecting information, designing, experimenting, coding, representing and publishing.
- in workshops, studios, work placements, etc.
- and around the essential skills of a future designer-researcher: documenting, modelling, experimenting, coding, representing and publishing. The aim of the second year of the Master’s in Research in Design is to continue the training of the designer-researcher, giving priority to learning how to use the tools of research and to research through practice and the development of a single issue.

Design at Paris-Saclay University is approached from a multidimensional perspective that integrates skills in the humanities, technology, and heritage management. Students are trained to think about design not only in aesthetic or functional terms, but also in terms of its social, cultural, and historical impact. This includes training in the history of objects in their societal context, conservation and design techniques, and how design can contribute to the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage and help address contemporary societal challenges, particularly through the use of proven and speculative methods.
Students tend to orient their studies to one of the Master's courses in the field, particularly towards the second year of a research Master in Design. After the second year of a research Master's degree in Design, students generally go on to a doctoral programme and enter careers in tertiary-level teaching and research; or take up jobs that require specific research skills (public institutions, Research and Development, etc. ).
The entry profiles for this programme are:
- Students trained at the French Ministry of National Education's school of applied arts or the Ministry of Culture's art and design school at L3 (undergraduate) level at least
- or students in undergraduate-level design courses or other creation/design fields.
The Master's programme in Design Research allows students to undertake 3 month internships in local, national and international research laboratories, including: the Centre for Design Research, i3 UMR CNRS, Centre Borelli, SATIE laboratory, PROJEKT laboratory, University of Liège (BE), Umea University, Textile Lab-Tilburg, Tufts University (USA), among others. In addition to introducing students to research, these internships help to strengthen key partnerships.
