Applied Imagination: an MA in unlearning?

I just came across this new video and website for my old MA Design Studies course, now renamed 'MA Applied Imagination'. It brings back memories and I'm feeling quite nostalgic about it all.

The course was a life changing experience and gave me the confidence to work in creative fields outside of my own discipline. It focuses on sharing, exploring and applying new ideas or concepts with a 40 strong student team of other creative experts and external advisors, without being confined by gate keepers.

This is a process of unlearning and re-learning how things could be done differently. The crossover of skills is valuable and in any year could comprise design - fashion, web, interior, space, lighting, branding, graphics, multimedia, animators etc, as well as other disciplines such as dance, marketing, business development to name just a few.

The lovely Geoff Crook, Course Director, explains how this crossover breathes new life into interdisciplinary design and how better futures can be imagined and realised >>
