The Master of Design (Fashion and Textiles) program enables students to develop an advanced body of knowledge that they may apply to a range of stimulating, real-life research contexts.
Individually supervised research programs are aligned to one of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Centre for Materials Innovation and Future Fashion or the School’s research streams. These research areas reflect the School’s research supervisors’ expertise along with the available resources and collaborative relationships with industry and other research organizations.
The Master of Design may be undertaken by project or by thesis mode:
- The project mode is directed towards candidates taking a creative practice-led approach to conduct research into fashion design, textile design, curatorial practice, communication, or interdisciplinary design.
- The thesis mode is directed towards candidates taking a social science approach to conduct research into an aspect of the fashion and textiles system such as design practice, curatorial practice, historical or contemporary cultural studies, enterprise or ethical practice.
