MA Design Writing Criticism
London College of Communication
University of the Arts London

Start Date: October 2008
Mode: one year full-time; two years part-time

This MA course explores the impact of writing and criticism on
contemporary
design thinking and practice. It takes as its starting point the way in
which text, image and a combination thereof, may be used to carry a
'point
of view'. This course examines conventional written forms of design
journalism and criticism and the nontraditional forms of the 'new visual
journalism'.

The course enjoys strong links with editors, journalists and critics
working
nationally and internationally in magazine, newspaper and publishing
industries as well as established relationships with many of London's
museums, galleries and other relevant art and design institutions.

The staff team is comprised of experienced design writers,
practitioners and
specialists in design history, architecture and curation. Students will
benefit from the School's guest lecturer programme of visiting
scholars and
leading professionals.
