Our MA Designer-Maker programme enables students to become open-minded professionals who are receptive to global trends and local challenges, and can provide sustainable responses through material-oriented solutions.  

Students can learn to use their art to make an internationally relevant positive impact, whether by creating craft-produced limited-series items or autonomous works of art intended for exhibitions and the art market.

Research assignments, design studies and studio exercises provide opportunities to participate in national and international professional events, exhibitions, competitions and facilitate career advancement after graduation. 

Structure:

At MOME all Master’s study programmes follow a common structure. Each curriculum subject consists of 5-10-15 or 20 ECTS credits depending on the workload required to achieve the intended learning outcomes. 5 ECTS credits equate to approximately 150 hours of work.

During your studies you will:

• develop specific craft making competences with the help of Programme-Specific
• broaden your knowledge and discuss issues of the world surrounding us in the General Theoretical Studies Module
• collaborate on projects with your fellow MA and BA students from other study programmes on different social and economic problems in the Research, Development and Innovation Module
• enrich your knowledge based on your interests in the Elective Module 
• participate in intensive workshops during the Course Week

Planning your studies:

Planning your studies is essential to maximise the benefits from the programme. Following the recommended study path will support you in gradually working towards a successful diploma project.

All programme-specific subjects have designated places in the curriculum:

• 1st semester: Science through craft
• 2nd semester: Research through craft, Internship and Foundations for diploma
• 3rd semester: Development Studies Through Craft and Diploma project consultation 1
• 4th semester: Diploma Project Consultation II and the Diploma subjects

In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd semesters you are advised to complete the RDI module, and in the 1st,2nd and 4th semesters the Elective modules by taking 1 course from these modules in each semester.

The General Theoretical Studies module consists of 4 subjects which should be completed in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd semesters. From these 4 subjects, Complex Introduction is typically taken in the 1st semester, providing a general introduction into topics of the surrounding world with an outlook to other disciplines. The Thesis seminar and communication training is directly supporting your thesis writing process and should therefore be completed in the 3rd semester.

The Course Week module takes place in the middle of the autumn semester and in the first week of the spring semester . Given that the Course Week is a one-week-long workshop or lecture series, you can decide in which semesters you would like to take the two mandatory courses.

If you are planning to spend a semester abroad at a partner university, discuss with your programme lead which semester is the most convenient for studying abroad. It is essential to plan your mobility period as early as possible.
