Emily Carr is committed to supporting Graduate Students with fellowship or research assistantship opportunities.

ReEmily Carr University’s Master of Design (MDes) will challenge you to examine and explore the dynamic and ever-changing nature of design. Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, the MDes is a two year, full-time, research-oriented, interdisciplinary degree for creative professionals at the forefront of design. As a graduate, you will inspire new design practice and be poised to take leadership roles across a diverse range of established and emerging professions.

Expand your understanding of design in its contemporary and future contexts. Drawing upon your knowledge and experience, you will push the boundaries and purposes of design by integrating design research methodologies within theoretical and experimental frameworks. Our approach to critical making actively integrates research and practice. Your program offers opportunities to engage in independent and collaborative advanced-level research, studio practice, prototyping, co-creation methods, and critical studies. While the MDes centres around studio practice, you will be asked to develop a rigorous critical framework in order to synthesize research, theory, and practice, and to recognize and develop new areas of design practice. As an MDes candidate, you will have the opportunity to situate your own research within a range of established and emerging design fields including: Health Design, Recreation Design, Soft Product Design, Communication Design, Product Design, Industrial Design, Sustainable Design, and Service Systems Design.

You will benefit from Emily Carr’s focused Research and Industry Office and the Intersections Digital Studios, which are hubs for strategic research innovation that build industry alliances and offer customized internships, including Mitacs and other funded opportunities. Centres of research include: health design, stereoscopic 3D, social and interactive media, public art and social practice, and a range of design practices.

Research Assistantships are designed to provide you with valuable professional experience to complement your studies. Research Assistants have the opportunity to work with Faculty members or as part of a team on a larger research initiative. MDes candidates may also receive fellowship support. Teaching opportunities may also be available within the University.
