Innledning
The programme builds on the foundation that design can bridge individual and collective interests. It is a challenging programme that focuses on developing design solutions centred around human beings and their environment.
During the two-year degree programme, you will be challenged both in design practice and in the discussion of design and its role in societies.
The Master's Degree in Product Design runs for two years as a full-time study and is divided into several courses. All courses, except for the Master's Project (30 ECTS), have a value between 10 and 20 ECTS. All other courses are compulsory in order to complete the Master Programme in Product Design.
The different courses expose you to several design methodologies that help enhance and expand your individual design expression. Each course offers you the possibility to develop your own design projects within a set theme or methodology. This helps you in defining your personal value system and working methods. Particularly, the second-semester internship course or the third-semester exchange offers you the possibility to connect to relevant networks within design, craft, and industry in Norway or abroad.
Throughout the two years, the course encourages you to consider and develop design solutions that meet current and future societal challenges.
Forkunnskapskrav
This programme offers you the opportunity to meet and work with people from backgrounds other than product design, including architecture, engineering, fine arts, graphic design, and more. They share a passion for critical thinking, design, and a desire to pursue graduate-level research and production.
The programme is organised with learning activities in a two-year full-time study in an international environment with students and teaching staff from across the world. The master's students work in shared studio spaces with full access to workshops, which include facilities for wood, metal, textiles, ceramics, digital manufacturing lab (DML), and virtual reality (VR).
As master's students, you are expected to show independence, motivation, and competence in developing your work within the courses offered in the programme. You can look forward to a variety of learning experiences such as discussions, lectures, group work, field trips, and collaborations with other design schools and businesses.
Thesis Project
In your thesis project, you will be able to build on the methods and themes you have been exposed to throughout the two years while developing your unique project. For an entire semester, you can explore your experimental creativity, advanced problem-solving skills, and critical inquiry and excel in areas where you strive to make a difference.
Thesis topics cover a broad range of fields, from product and furniture explorations, apps and services all the way to systemic design approaches for industry or government and medical applications
Læringsutbytte
På samlingene får studenten undervisning gjennom forelesninger, seminarer og gruppearbeid. Mellom samlingene forventes det at studenten arbeider med fagstoffet på egen hånd og samarbeider med medstudenter gjennom deltakelse i nettbaserte diskusjoner. Undervisningen i emnet Menneske og teknologi gjennomføres sammen med studenter ved videreutdanning i velferdsteknologi - bachelornivå.
Forelesninger
Forelesninger blir i hovedsak benyttet for å introdusere nytt fagstoff, gi oversikt, trekke frem hovedelementer, synliggjøre sammenhenger mellom ulike tema og formidle relevante problemstillinger. Undervisningsspråket er i hovedsak norsk, men eventuelle utenlandske forelesere vil bruke engelsk i sin undervisning.
Seminarer
Det arrangeres seminarer der studentene presenterer fagstoff som utgangspunkt for diskusjon, og hvor også faglærer deltar. Slike fagdebatter skal utfordre studentene til å tydeliggjøre egen fagforståelse og gir dem mulighet til å se gyldigheten av egen og andres kunnskapsforståelse. Det gir studentene trening i å formulere seg, gi uttrykk for egne meninger og reflektere over egne holdninger og handlinger.
Gruppearbeid
Gruppearbeid anvendes som pedagogisk metode for å fremme samarbeid mellom studentene, understøtte læringen av fagstoff og gi trening i samarbeid og samspill. Gruppearbeidet foregår på samlingene, men også mellom samlingene gjennom samarbeid og deltakelse i nettbaserte diskusjoner.
Selvstudier
Noen temaer inngår ikke i organisert undervisning, og det forventes at studentene tilegner seg denne kunnskapen ved selvstudium. Studentene kommer til studiet med ulike læreforutsetninger og gjennom selvstudium får de anledning til å prioritere temaer og områder de ønsker å arbeide mer med. Selvstudium er også med på å stimulere til selvstendig egenaktivitet og refleksjon.
Skriftlige oppgaver
For å støtte selvstudiene legger faglærer ut skriftlige og praktiske oppgaver på nettet. Studentene kan sende inn besvarelsene sine og få tilbakemelding fra faglærer. Tilbakemelding forutsetter at oppgaven er levert innen fastsatt frist.
I emnet VETEK6100 skal studentene også arbeide med et prosjekt som strekker seg over hele semesteret, jf. emneplanen.
Arbeids- og undervisningsformer
Since the design subject itself focuses on and evolves within an international context, the programme also includes activities with international lecturers, teachers, researchers, and companies.
It is possible to undertake an exchange with foreign universities and university colleges in the third semester. We advise you to choose one of the institutions with whom we have established agreements. It is possible to study abroad for one semester as part of the master's education (30 ECTS credits).
Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter
Coursework assignments
Coursework assignments are defined in the individual course descriptions and further requirements are described in the work and teaching plan for the course. Assignments are carried out individually and in groups.
Coursework assignments are given the assessment Approved/Not approved. In courses with coursework assignments, the students must receive an approved on the coursework assignments in order to be able to take examinations and be given a final assessment of the course.
Not approved coursework requirements
Legitimate absence based on e.g. a medical certificate, does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students, who due to illness or any other documented legitimate absence, who do not meet the coursework requirements within the appointed deadline, should as far as possible, be given a new attempt to meet the requirements, before the relevant examination.
Vurdering og eksamen
Provisions governing examinations are laid down in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet . The form of assessments will be approved/not approved for compulsory assignments, and Pass/Fail for the exam in the MAPD Practical Placement or in the other exams a graded scale from A (highest) to F (lowest) where A to E is a pass grade and F is a fail grade. The grade achieved in each course will be stated on the diploma.
Assessment methods vary between courses. They include written reports, oral presentations, physical models, prototypes, videos, portfolio assessments and oral examinations.
A portfolio assessment provides an overall assessment awarding one grade for the whole portfolio. Students may only appeal against the determination of the examination grade awarded for the whole portfolio.
If the portfolio consists of elements such as an oral presentation, practical work etc., the examination result cannot be appealed against. The right to appeal is stated in the individual course descriptions.
If the examination in a course consists of more than one part, all parts of the examination must be passed in order to pass the course.

Normally each course has two internal examiners to assess students' work. Each semester one course will be chosen to include an external examiner, thus the students' work will be assessed by one external and one internal examiner.
The Master's thesis is assessed by the one external examiner and one internal examiner, the supervisor is not a part of the grade setting in the master thesis.
