About this course
Global Innovation Design (GID) is a new joint Master's programme between Imperial and the Royal College of Art. It is a unique, transnational design initiative which brings together three major centres of design, culture, enterprise and industry: Europe, North America and Asia. The programme is a world class design collaboration between four internationally-renowned academic institutions. Each partner brings distinct expertise and complementary approaches to design, engineering, technology and business, with an emphasis on internationally-oriented design and innovation. GID offers a new international style of learning, and unique educational and cultural experiences designed to meet the changing needs of enterprise in the 21st century. GID Masters students on the joint RCA/Imperial College London programme study in New York and Tokyo during their first year and then in London for their graduation year. Graduates from the programme are expected to be central to innovation leadership in the 21st century.

You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...
