At York, MSc Digital Design teaches you key design skills and theoretical expertise that can be applied across diverse societal and industry contexts.
Use digital design to tackle big challenges: how AI-aided design could tackle local climate change challenges; supporting inclusion and diversity in cultural heritage; creating intuitive digital experiences to support better mental health, and more.
