Master in Design for Work, Retail and Learning Environments

The Master in Design for Work, Retail and Learning Environments is a forward thinking post-professional program that not only examines the profound changes occurring in environments for work, retail and learning, but also explores the tools and knowledge needed to innovatively design these spaces for the future. The IE Master in Design Work Retail and Learning Environments is a pioneering program as it stretches across traditional boundaries based on analyses, skills and strategies for understanding and proposing creative ideas for changing environments.

The program has been designed in partnership with the Helen Hamlyn Center for Design at the Royal College of Art in London, a research center specialized in design ethnography where the students will undertake one of the modules of the program.

The program focuses on three types of space - the work space, retail and learning environments - that are most important for our everyday lives and which are the three realms where the most dramatic changes are occurring in terms of concepts, technology and  cutting-edge innovation.
