Overview

The Postgraduate Programme in Design Research is an innovative full-time education opportunity run by the « EPFL+ECAL Lab ». Running over two years, it combines a research assistant position at 70% with a dedicated Master of Advanced Studies curriculum at 30%.

This unique offering is dedicated to innovative minds with a background in design, art and emerging technologies. Each year, the EPFL+ECAL Lab selects 3-4 candidates at the international level to become part of the team as research assistants. Candidates develop a full research project from conception to implementation, with results generating knowledge about human perception, adoption and impact. The fully accredited MAS curriculum, followed in parallel, provides a personalised education in core disciplines including design research methodologies, prototyping tools, UX psychology practices and ethics. Income from the research assistant position covers the MAS tuition fees and ensures the candidate financial autonomy over the two years.

  • Length: 2 years
