Innovation and creativity are essential if business and industry are to compete internationally. Increasing recognition by government** and industry of the need to enhance the role of creativity in all aspects of business has led to a demand for graduates of engineering, technology and science-based disciplines who possess the creative skills and insight needed to improve organisational effectiveness.

Cranfield’s Master of Design (MDes) in Innovation and Creativity in Industry has been developed in collaboration with employers to address this demand. By integrating technology, business methods and creative thinking the course develops engineers, scientists and management postgraduates literate in creative design.

This programme is a partnership between Cranfield University, and the University of Arts London (UAL) through the Centre for Competitive Creative Design, which aims to inspire organisations to apply creative design capability and enhance competitiveness.
