Goldsmiths are piloting an MA in Innovation.
This hasn’t even been approved yet and I already want to beg them to sign me up.
From the prospectus:
“This programme is a collaboration between you, your place of work, and us here at Goldsmiths. The MA enables you to bring an academic perspective to an ‘innovation project’ identified in the context of your work place; a project that is beneficial to your ‘actual work’ – either a company you work for or your own practice. You will have the opportunity to work with experts from a wide range of subject areas and disciplines (designers, social scientists, philosophers, creative business experts, psychologists, engineers and material experts) whose differing knowledge and critical focus will help you develop your own innovation project.”
* the asterisk is an especially nice touch – ‘subject to validation’ sounds like the ultimate in academic swashbuckling…
