M1 Design research

● Design research project skills: development of practice-based research projects;

● Mobilise craftsmanship and specialised skills, including the use of new technologies and the transmission of design knowledge;

● Formulate sound hypotheses and develop critical thinking skills, drawing on methodological, historical, sociological, philosophical and critical practical approaches;

● Produce high-quality work, both in terms of documentation and design, with particular attention to the communication and presentation of results, 

● Demonstrate writing skills, in particular through logical progression of arguments, relevance of references and examples cited, explanation of methods used, and clear presentation of results, with an impactful introduction and conclusion;

● Master information literacy, ensuring the quality of the bibliography, sources, captions, and careful use of tables or figures when necessary.

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.
