Master of Arts in Design Management

The experience of pursuing a master's degree in Design management at Raffles Singapore not only deepened my understanding of design, but also enabled me to learn how to promote innovation with strategic thinking and transform creativity into commercial value. The Master of Design here not only exposes me to the most cutting-edge design theories, but also cultivates my ability to solve problems systematically through practical projects. During the course, I delved deeply into the Design Thinking methodology and learned how to apply it to break down complex problems and explore innovative solutions. From user demand analysis, creative generation to feasibility assessment, I gradually mastered how to balance business goals, technical limitations and user experience, and ultimately produced design solutions that are both innovative and feasible. What has benefited me a lot is that the lecturers of the school not only have profound industry experience, but also guide us to break away from fixed thinking patterns with unique teaching methods. In the team project, I learned how to collaborate with members from different backgrounds, integrate diverse viewpoints and optimize the design plan. These experiences not only broadened my design horizons, but also enabled me to view industry challenges from a more professional perspective. This learning experience has endowed me not only with knowledge, but also with the ability of structured thinking and innovative practice. I believe that these skills will become a powerful driving force for my future career development and help me continuously create value in the field of design.
