Information Experience Design MA Royal College of Art

We are accepting new applications on the Sound Design and Moving Image Design pathways only.

In Information Experience Design (IED) you’ll meet complex realities with bold adaptation, creating boundary-crossing experiences that immerse audiences in big ideas and experimental worlds.

You’ll be instructed in practical skills and a systematic approach for building your own bespoke methods and toolkits. Generating new ways of working will be part of your practice, and you’ll work ambitiously at the cutting edge of emerging arts and technology, drawing from multiple sources and from across disciplines.

You will never be tied to a single medium; instead you’ll be challenged to consider the potentials of diverse and unexpected forms, both digital and analogue. You’ll invent not just new experiences, but new kinds of experiences, engaging with data in unexpected ways.

The only programme of its kind, IED moves beyond binaries such as human and nonhuman, natural and artificial, using everything at its disposal to critique, reimagine and transform society.

Career opportunities

IED graduates are skilled in developing careers bespoke to them, and rarely follow a standard career pathway. They go on to work as curators, artists, designers and art directors, to launch their own studios and production companies, to write books and run start-ups. Most work fluidly across art, design and research, in a variety of combinations.
