Our degrees are built around the introduction and application of design research methods: In the first term we emphasize disciplinary inquiry that can be used to expand the possibilities of how we think about visual communication, and in the second term we emphasize human-centred methods that attempt to address many of the vexing issues facing society today. Our students learn rigorous processes that question, analyze, and interpret the role of design in contemporary culture and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-uppercase mb-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/design\/programs\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"5\">ENGAGE IN A STUDY OF THE DESIGN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alert alert-warning\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"mb-0\">This program is not accepting applications for the upcoming year.
