This one-year, full-time programme is a joint collaboration between UCL, Loughborough University London, and the London College of Fashion. Awarded by UCL, the Disability, Design and Innovation MSc enables students to blend research, engineering and design skills while learning how to tackle complex problems faced by people with a range of disabilities. 

If you’re interested in applying design engineering principles and global policy to approach challenges from a new perspective, our Disability, Design and Innovation master’s could be the right degree programme for you.
