About this programme

Design thinking provides a means to search for opportunities and create improvements toward sustainable futures. The interdisciplinary Master’s Degree Programme in Design for the Planet is based on the principles of meaningful, sufficiency, and place-based design. It emphasizes creative design thinking processes with human empathy for each other around real-world problems. In this programme, students learn how to critically form and analyze evidence-based arguments and design activities that nudge forward meaningful and feasible environmentally and socially sustainable organizational transitions. They learn how to apply design thinking and systems thinking as frameworks and methods for this development. The studies equip the students to lead engaging customer, user, and employee-based co-design research processes. The aim is to design situated, contextual, and enabling processes, activity models, services, and/or product service systems for sustainable and fair transitions.
