Disability, Design and Innovation MSc

Hosted by UCL Computer Science and delivered in collaboration with Loughborough University London (LUL) and the London College of Fashion (LCF – part of University of the Arts London), this programme brings interdisciplinary knowledge together to help you create meaningful solutions. You will join other students from incredibly diverse backgrounds to consider the interaction of everything from computer science to policymaking, to understand and respond to real issues. You will learn how to place stakeholders at the centre of your research, while developing your knowledge in a range of specialist areas, such as specific programming language and design thinking.

Taught at the brand new, purpose designed UCL East campus in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this programme brings you a modern learning environment that embraces an ethos of community and innovation. UCL experts who helped design accessibility into every aspect of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park also teach on this MSc programme, while this one-of-a-kind location brings you a living case study of design and innovation.

As well as learning from our world-renowned academics – some of whom are responsible for making the London 2012 Paralympic Games the most accessible games ever – you will hear from guest speakers from international organisations with which the leading academics collaborate closely. As the flagship programme of the UCL Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) – the official WHO Collaborating Centre for research on Assistive Technology – you will also become part of one of the largest networks for disability innovation, which is responsible for working on disability innovation projects in 35 countries with more than 70 partners.

With its unique curriculum, hands-on approach, real-world focus, and content delivery from leading academics and industry experts, the Disability, Design, and Innovation MSc equips you with a unique way of thinking about disability inclusion to find solutions in all aspects of the disability space.
