In our fast-paced world, design and creativity play central roles in the development of sustainable and meaningful products. Being a Design Leader means to take responsibility and define a vision for the team, for users and other stakeholders involved in the creative process. Good Design Leadership ensures that there is a passionate environment that encourages creativity, participation, and co-creation.
The new MA Design Leadership at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) will equip you with cutting-edge skills and knowledge to lead and empower creative teams in their effort to design better products, services, and experiences. Take your strong design background to the next level by acquiring the necessary skills to lead and manage creative teams.
The Master's programme Design Leadership prepares you to lead creative teams through the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. For those with the right skills, exciting tasks await in companies, creative agencies, media houses, and other innovation-driven organisations.
UE also prepares you for professional tasks where you need to collaborate closely with AI systems to develop and refine creative ideas. For all the benefits AI brings, these technologies are unable to successfully lead design teams through every single challenge and opportunity that may occur. Learn the critical judgment and problem-solving skills that AI lacks!
The target audience comprises young people who are adept at grasping ideas, understanding how things work, and effectively communicating them. They also excel at recognising visual elements and may have experimented with design, worked with digital media, or collaborated in teams.

Career Opportunities
Graduates work in a dynamically developing environment that requires exactly the skills they have acquired during their studies. They take on positions of responsibility in the communications and creative industries, where they focus in particular on strategic and operational tasks. Some prepare themselves for independent work as freelancers or set up their own companies. Outside the traditional design professions, they work in interdisciplinary teams (and lead them) to support companies, organisations and institutions in the analysis, conception and implementation of strategic communication.
