Scholarships available - up to ?9,000 plus UK fees* Design and innovation for sustainability is the consideration of the environmental, social and economic impacts of products, services and systems through the application of design-led thinking. This course aims to address the engagement of design-led thinking with the business and social agenda for sustainable development. It does this through a unique focus on the multiple perspectives of design, management, engineering and science and their engagement in sustainability. Students develop knowledge and understanding of the global issues and agendas in sustainable development, design and business innovation strategies and user-centric product and service development. Students are encouraged to pose questions and explore sustainable solutions in response to these issues. Students are introduced to ecodesign and design-led thinking tools and methods of developing project and programme strategies. This heightened awareness of other disciplines provides students with a platform to apply design thinking across disciplinary boundaries in industry.
